My family is from France with the last name Chevallier. I am not sure if this is a tadition in France or one the just made up over the years, however my family has a big gathering where everyone colors eggs and then you go around the room and you take your egg and someone else takes their, and you let them hit the tip of your egg with the tip of theirs and whosever egg breaks the other person get your egg. At the end there will be a winner. My family has a bunch of cheaters and have used fake eggs that look real, feed their chickens with grain to make the sheels harder for easter and even coated the eggs with a shalack finish. It has been a tradtion for as long as I can remember and I am 40 and years befor that. Has anyone eer heard of this or do this? I would love to know. Lots of fun!!!!! New people that come into the family think we are crazy but a fews years later the are into it to.
Have a Wonderful Easter
