I believe you once said you had been raised Old Testament.
I, myself was brought up New Testament and what I recall of Easter Sunday was a morning church service, the earlier the better, there are even sunrise services at many churches. Then a big Easter dinner with family, featuring the requisite baked ham shingled over by pineapple rings*. I don't remember the party going all hours into the night.
Now admittedly, I'm not familiar with all Easter celebrations, perhaps the wild Unitarians have a more free wheeling shindig, or Hawaiians of certain denominations. But what I remember was more of a celebration, a joyful gathering, not something the police respond to after a 911 call is phoned in.
