We have rabbit every year for easter dinner. We all find it amusing, which I'm pretty sure is the only reason we keep having it every year. Fuckin' easter bunny, that'll learn 'em. He is quite tasty though.
In my family, we refused to adopt Gentile ways such as giving gifts during the winter solstice, so instead we celebrated Hanukkah by driving around town and admiring the lights on Christian homes, and taking donations for our synagogue by going to Borders and selling Christmas wreaths.
We collected citrus trees, including a pink variegated lemon, a kaffir lime, a Buddha's Hand, and an etrog. The etrog and Buddha's Hand were very sensitive to the cold, so during the winter months, we put Christmas lights on them and wrapped them in tarps so the lights would keep them warm.
