I do an Easter egg hunt (and other activities) because it's fun and the kids love it. I don't feel providers should feel obligated to do it though.

I do agree that holidays are too much. For Valentines day I had kids that brought toys in for each child. Toys! Nobody needs more crap.

For Christmas I always have at least one child who asks if I'm getting them a Christmas present and I look them straight in the face and simply say, "No." They are usually shocked and I go on to tell them that they have enough toys, what I want for Christmas is to spend time with them like we always do.
