Christians how do you plan to celebrate Ostara?

I plan to eat lots of chocolate in the shape of bunnies and eggs.

Update:

@abel: Did you have fun coping and pasting that from Wikipedia?

    Go to church, hang out with friends. The usual.

    Does celebrating the resurrection of Jesus on Easter make it less valid than it would be if it was celebrated on another day? For instance- if we were to celebrate on September 19th, that would be International Talk Like a Pirate Day. So would we really be celebrating the resurrection or hijacking Talk Like a Pirate Day?

    F Y I -

    Ēostre or Ostara (Old English: Ēastre, Northumbrian dialect Ēostre; Old High German: *Ôstara) is a Germanic divinity who, by way of the Germanic month bearing her name (Northumbrian: Ēosturmōnaþ; West Saxon: Ēastermōnaþ; Old High German: Ôstarmânoth), is the namesake of the festival of Easter. Ēostre is attested solely by Bede in his 8th-century work The Reckoning of Time, where Bede states that during Ēosturmōnaþ (the equivalent of April), pagan Anglo-Saxons had held feasts in Eostre's honor, but that this tradition had died out by his time, replaced by the Christian Paschal month, a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus.

    Easter and it customs, such as the use of eggs and rabbits, come from ancient false religions.

    The early Christians did not celebrate Easter, nor do true Christians today.

    Not a Christian, but I'm thinking Denver omelets for breakfast, and an early dinner of ham, scalloped potatoes, broccoli and salad, with strawberry shortcake for dessert.

    Traditionally: we paint them and then BURY them, you heretic.

    ...and furthermore, it's Leyla, not Ostara.
