Last week, one of my daily writing prompts asked that my students write about a family custom that is a part of their lives but that someone from outside their family might as odd. I specifically thought about my family's tradition of each member having their own Easter basket which is full enough of candy that it can last for several weeks--although, the boys seemed to have emptied theirs much sooner. It does seem to be an odd way to celebrate the anniversary of Jesus' resurrection. Still, it gives us yet another reason to look forward to this time of year.
At least, until the basket is empty.
