Mostly the same way becuase everyone who celebrates easter in celebrating a christian holiday.  The only difference could be is food.  But most people do about the same thing.  Boil eggs, color them, eat the, eat candy, get new clothes, dress up easter sunday, go to church, be with the family.

Nothing.  I celebrate the holiday Ostara, the one the Christians ripped off from the Wiccans to make into Easter.

Sunday.\n\n"In Western Christianity, Easter always falls on a Sunday from March 22 to April 25 inclusive. The following day, Easter Monday, is a legal holiday in many countries with predominantly Christian traditions. In Eastern Christianity, Easter always falls between April 4 and May 8 based on the Gregorian date."

Something to look forward to I guess, like winter is cold and dark and depressing, but hey, Jesus was born and we get to have lots of parties and presents and do family stuff that although you say you hate it, it's pretty fun!\nAs it's for RE, I'd say that it makes a community, or a country, or a religion, feel united in their joy (or sadness for Easter).  We also celebrate to remind us, would we even know half these facts if we didn't celebrate them each year?  It's also an excuse to show people we care about them when celebrating birthdays and anniversaries and stuff.  Lots of reason!

Western Christianity\nIn Western Christianity, Easter marks the end of the forty days of Lent, a period of fasting and penitence in preparation for Easter which begins on Ash Wednesday and ends at Easter Sunday.\n\nThe week before Easter is very special in the Christian tradition: the Sunday before is Palm Sunday, and the last three days before Easter are Maundy Thursday or Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday (sometimes referred to as Silent Saturday). Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday and Good Friday respectively commemorate Jesus' entry in Jerusalem, the Last Supper and the Crucifixion. Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday are sometimes referred to as the Easter Triduum (Latin for "Three Days"). In some countries, Easter lasts two days, with the second called "Easter Monday". Many churches start celebrating Easter late in the evening of Holy Saturday at a service called the Easter Vigil.\n\nEastertide, the season of Easter, begins on Easter Sunday and lasts until the day of Pentecost, seven weeks later.\n\n\nEastern Christianity\nIn Eastern Christianity, preparations begin with Great Lent. Following the fifth Sunday of Great Lent is Palm Week, which ends with Lazarus Saturday. Lazarus Saturday officially brings Great Lent to a close, although the fast continues for the following week. After Lazarus Saturday comes Palm Sunday, Holy Week, and finally Easter itself, or Pascha (Πάσχα), and the fast is broken immediately after the Divine Liturgy. Easter is immediately followed by Bright Week, during which there is no fasting, even on Wednesday and Friday.\n\nThe Paschal Divine Liturgy generally takes place around midnight, into the early morning of Pascha. Placing the Paschal Divine Liturgy at midnight guarantees that no Divine Liturgy will come earlier in the morning, ensuring its place as the pre-eminent "Feast of Feasts" in the liturgical year.

Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus, If Jesus has not resurrected our faith would be vain.

I think that some of the people answering this question would benefit greatly from an elementary history lesson. Easter, in it's original form, was very much a Pagan holiday.  You can deny it until you're blue in the face, that doesn't change history.\n\nWhen Christians were forcing people to convert, they took over the Pagan holidays because it was easier to manipulate those holidays than it was to get Pagans to celebrate new ones.  So, they took over our holidays, built their churches on our sacred space and called it a day.  That's history, not opinion.  It's fact, look it up.

Going to church for today. We did an Easter egg hunt earlier in the week with my two married sisters and their children. After three rounds of the children finding the eggs the adults hid, the fourth round was reversed, and adults had to find the (hard-boiled) eggs the children hid. It was hard! There's still one somewhere in the living room we couldn't find! Usually we celebrate Easter with reading part of the New Testament or Book of Mormon about Christ's death and resurrection. My little brother is 18 and too old for Easter baskets. My mom used to make "bunny bread" in the shape of a large bunny, or bunny rolls which included a little "tail" in the middle.

Easter is based on a lunar calendar.  It has to do with a specific Sunday after a number days following a full moon.  That's why the date moves around.\n\nI found a good article on www.wikipedia.org that goes into a great deal on the subject.
