Narrative Story- Easter Day

Easter is very important holiday for Greeks. Greek Orthodox Easter usually lands on a different day than Catholic Easter. I come from a big family. My father has a lot of cousins and they mostly all live in New York. On Easter Sunday, all my family gathers at one of my cousins' house and we celebrate. There is a lot of food and alcohol involved. The ladies are usually in the kitchen cooking and the men are outside drinking beers while watching the pig and lamb roast on the spit. Most of my cousins are guys so they are usually playing either football or soccer. When I was little I would play with them but now they all are bigger and I am afraid to get hurt. Easter is my favorite holiday because I don't get to see all my family everyday like I used to. A couple of them got married and have real jobs now so I only get to see them on holidays and special occasions. Easter is the one day of the year I know I will see everybody and we will have fun like we used to when we were little.
