How has Easter changed for you since finding out the truth?

Just curious if anyone celebrates it differently than they used to or if you teach Easter to your kids differently now? Since I'm newly Agnostic, I think for my kids, it'll be all about the Easter bunny and celebration of spring and life and growth.

Easter Bunny and egg hunts are a fun tradition of which there's no sense in giving up. They also transcend Christianity, which is kind of cool. When it comes to actually teaching them about Easter, this is what I'll teach my kids (as they become old enough to understand it)

Thanks Kimball! I knew it had pagan origins but that was pretty much all new to me!

Easter has always been about chocolate eggs and not a lot more, even when I believed. I see no reason to stop celebrating the chocolate egg, just because I don't believe in God or Jesus! :)

We no longer have to worry about having F&T meeting in its place.
We no longer place it behind reminders of the Church being founded on April 6 which is also said to be Jesus' birthday.

We no longer commemorate the slaughter of the doubting Lamanites in preperation for the blessing of children.

Always thought it was stupid. Still think it's stupid.

Makes for fewer people at the golf course. That's about it.
