It might be religious or cultural I guess re: egg hunts. I’m not on IG but I remember it used to be a time with lots of arts and crafts like blown egg painting, basket weaving, and Easter bonnet making. This is making me sound a bit Little House on the Prairie
I enjoy a holiday event and little things that punctuate the year if they have meaning and are fun. If they encourage activity and interaction away from screen time.
What I think has happened over the last 15 years or so, is a blurring of the lines re: seasonality of events - so we just get over Christmas and Easter eggs are in the shops. Mid-Jan and Valentine’s stuff is everywhere shortly followed by Mother’s Day. It’s like a conveyor belt of commercialism.
I wonder if some aspects of social media encourage people to buy themed stuff that you’ll use once and then throw away because you don’t have the space to store it or it’s too poor quality to reuse. I wish people would remember that not only does this stuff end up in landfill sites across the planet, most of it doesn’t break down organically.
I thought it was only outdoors you could meet and obviously then with restrictions/distancing. I feel like we’re never going to get out of this if people carry on mixing like this before it’s safe. No one is 100% perfect and there has been the odd thing I’ve done which wasn’t strictly allowed like the other day dropping birthday presents off at my dads, they weren’t home and it was ridiculously rainy/windy so I let myself in very quickly and left them on the table. But these people blatantly flouting the rules and posting it for everyone to see is very annoying!!
