I have polish friends and on Easter monday, which they call wet Monday they have to try to be the first ones to get each other with a bucket of water. Do you have a tradition, for Easter?

I'm very glad I'm not Polish!!! I don't really have any traditions for Easter as I'm not really a religious person so church doesn't come into the equation for me. I don't know if it's a tradition really, but Monday I'm generally feeling yucky because all of the chocolate I have eaten! I know it's going to happen, but I do it every year!!!

We don't really have a tradition either. I remember the first time I had easter with my polish friends and they were telling me how they all got wet. I asked why and they explained what they do. I thought it was very funny. It's something that they do every year to keep the tradition going. Thanks!

We dont really have anything that we do year after year. I look forward to breakfast on Sunday though because he have hot cross buns with heaps of butter. Actually all day we just eat hot cross buns and chocolate. Happy Easter!!

lol! hmm i kind of like the idea of dousing someone with a bucket of water! the only tradition we have is, of course, the colored egg hunt, and then early dinner with the family.

Maybe I should try the polish tradition on my wife, lol! We usually just spend Easter with the family, which is always nice.
