Once egg hunting loses its magic the whole thing is pretty lackluster. It's so bad in fact that we eat ham for dinner instead of wasting on of the good meats on this horrible holiday. In America we don't even get a day off. What's the point?

Well *I* only read the New Yorker and eat Fancy Feast.
I disagree. Easter has some benefits like candy, or you know, the religious significance. Valentines and St. Patty’s are the worst because they are only a thing in the US because of the garbage people perpetuating them.

Man I love Easter. We get to dress up like scary monsters and go door-to-door and say TRICK OR TREAT and people give you candy.

No, that's not Easter. That's Halloween. On Easter you cook a big turkey dinner and your family comes and you are thankful for all the good things in your life.

You're both wrong. Easter is a celebration of the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The romans crucified him and he was put in the tomb and three days later he rolled back the big rock in front and if he sees his shadow, we get 6 more weeks of Lent.

I like how Easter is on a different Sunday every year based on moon phases because no one can actually remember when the most important event in Christianity actually happened even though Jesus took off into space like an Atlas rocket after rising from the dead

I got a free painted hardboiled egg at the store today. No other holiday has ever given me free stuff. I got this egg for easter so easter is the most profitable.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

We're getting together with friends for dinner tomorrow. Not for Easter, but because ham was on sale and I love me some ham. Gonna slow cook it with a brown sugar glaze.

Our realtor also sent us a goodie bag of Easter treats, so I've been munching on a crispy rice chocolate rabbit. I gave the other goodies to a friend's 4 year old.

I'm no longer religious and don't care much for Easter, but I'm always up for chocolate and cheap ham.

Easter is the best candy holiday bc there's gonna be a ton of it leftover at work on Monday unlike Halloween and Christmas where the discounted candy gets bought up quickly

Easter, like Christmas, means pickled herring for us Swedes.

I had some pickled in crayfish+crayfishy sauce and it was delicious. I don't even like fish and it was good on toast.

I'm imagining this huge industrial factory straight from like 1910 with big billowing smoke stacks and the sound of deep, heavy rhythmic metal clangs booming from the interior and an open shipping door from which a single conveyor belt comes and a line of small chocolate rabbits.
Next to it is an identical factory. Its conveyor belt has butter lambs.

e: we do pickled herring here in Wisconsin too, but that's usually more of a Christmas thing....though it's around all year.

You think you can take me at Satan's Hollow? Go 'head on!
It's a good thing they only make chocolate rabbits once a year because I'd definitely eat more chocolate if it came shaped like bunnies and chicks with eggshell hats.

But gently caress the Peeps company for only giving us two or three months of sugared marshmallows because I love that poo poo and want it all the time.

Pagan ritual. You know how they stay obsessed with the moon. Easter isn't in the bible. If Jesus didn't tell you to do it, don't!!
