Never had anything other than an Easter Egg when I was a kid although my mam always bought me one until she died no matter what.
I bought my daughter one until the age where she got into diet and fitness and suggested I give her the money what I would have spent on the egg itself!
Since she left for uni and never seeing her from month to month, the question of an egg or money at Easter just got forgotten about.
As a random thought, I learned to tell the time because of an Easter egg!
When I was little my parents bought me an easter egg in with the shape of a clockface on the front, with 12 small eggs where the numbers would be and a moveable hour and minute hand in the centre and being able to play and set the clock face I got to understand to concept of 'to', 'past' and 'quarters'!
Happy days.
