EGG-citing Easter Traditions: A German-American Kid’s Perspective
This is for all my fellow Easter Egg enthusiasts and Easter Bunny believers! Buckle up because we’re about to embark on a journey through the colorful and chocolatey world of Easter traditions, from a German-American kid’s perspective.
Growing up in the heartland of America in the 60s and 70s, Easter was a time of excitement and wonder. But let me tell you, it wasn’t all about the theological aspects – oh no! For us, Easter was a fusion of German immigrant traditions and American flair, featuring none other than the elusive Easter Bunny.
Now, picture this: it’s Easter morning, the sun is rising, it’s still early before Church and there’s a sense of anticipation in the air. As we groggily stumbled out of bed, our eyes widened at the sight of large, colorful eggs scattered around the house. These weren’t your ordinary eggs; they were candy-filled delights, half the size of a real egg but twice as sweet.
