My Kids Grew up. I Had to Rethink Holidays — so I Chose Easter ...
Courtesy of Jennifer McGuire 2026-04-05T15:42:01.235Z I used to focus on Christmas, but it became complicated as my kids grew up. I stopped competing for holiday time and chose Easter as our new tradition. Now I host a low-pressure Easter and let go of expectations around Christmas. I have never cared about Easter as a holiday. Not just because I'm not religious, although I suppose that's probably part of it. Historically, Easter has not made sense to me, especially as a mom. Am I buying presents? Chocolate? Decorating the house? Am I wearing that pastel sundress my algorithm is aggressively trying to sell me, even though it's still 50 degrees outside? Why is a rabbit delivering eggs, and why is he hiding them?I ignored EasterThese were minor irritations for younger me. The single mom raising four boys in a small town. I was the custodial parent and the holiday-maker. When I was this mom, I had the privilege of deciding against Easter as a holiday because, let's face it, I got to decide all of the holidays and every other day of the year. When I was this mom, I could afford to give Easter the cold shoulder in favor of Christmas. The Big Show. The main event. The author's kids, when they were little, during Easter. Courtesy of the author I made a real meal out of Christmas, throwing myself into wringing every last magical moment out of the holiday. I baked their favorite cookies. I bought them holiday pajamas. I hosted their friends for parties. Decorated the tree with them, wrapped gifts with them, watched movies with them, sang carols with them. That was before. Now I'm a new kind of mom. A mom of adult sons. They have other plans now that they are adultsI am realizing that I've spent the past few years fighting to get that Christmas back. Auditioning to be on the main stage of Christmas even though we all know I'm more of a benevolent bystander in my sons' lives these days. I've watched them do their best to include me in their holidays. I've watched them try to navigate Christmas with their partners and their partners' families, their dad and their friends, and their work, and even just try to find a moment for themselves. It's a lot. It's too much, And even though I know they're trying so hard to wedge me in where they can, I inevitably get my feelings hurt or just get lonely or maudlin or stop being any fun at all.The thing is, I like to be fun. It's fun to be fun. So I'm changing the game.I'm making Easter our holiday togetherThis year I'm tak...
