Easter is a cute holiday with pastel colors and chocolate. I'm sure it sucks if you're religious and have to do church things on actual Easter, but I like bunnies, chicks, chocolates, and jellybeans so hell yeah my man to Easter.

There aren't enough secular traditions to go with it to fill one day let alone its confusing multi-day structure. Christmas has clear values and emotions attached to it, and they can be appreciated by both the religious and the secular. Easter is more specifically religious, and even then I'm unsure what emotions you are actually meant to experience. Some weird sense of guilty gratitude? Hard if not impossible to summon that emotion on command or in response to any of the rituals/sermons/masses.

Its weird that it happens on a different day every year. It has something to do with Romans I think

Arrhythmia posted:it's almost like it's a repurposed pagan holiday or something !!! Gotta wonder why a bunch of corrupt pedophiles want to deceive and lead the flock astray. Almost like they hate humanity. Almost like they want company to join them in hell. Could it be a sacrifice and gift to their actual 'god' (of this earth; the evil one)? Crazy.... or is it??

Easter is a guaranteed four day weekend, so on average it's actually the best holiday, OP. Even though Christmas can rarely yield a five day weekend, it can also be just a three-day weekend, or even two, if you're a scrub that works on Christmas eve. The bad thing is that it's always the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox or some poo poo like that, and it's like... that's specific??? Why not just like first Sunday in April or something.

Get a low sodium ham if your store has one. Actually tastes way better assuming you don't gently caress it up. Put a crust on it.

Big Beef City posted: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 It's because most of the Christian holidays are just coopted pagan holidays. They did this to more easily convert people. It's just the spring fertility festival after the equinox. Thus the eggs.

i like that posted: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!! I know what it is god drat it. almost every christian holiday took over the Roman religious calendar it made it easier for the empire as a whole to convert en masse. gently caress it was a joke. And no, Easter did not replace some stupid druid bullshit it came from Cybelian cultic practices coinciding with early christians (and I think some Mithraic stuff which stretches WAY back into antiquity beyond the Romans).

I think April Fool's is a worse holiday. The fact they are both on the same day is going to be troubling.

AKA Pseudonym posted: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? no, we don't eat ham for dinner. you eat ham for dinner. i'll be eating lamb crown roast and osso buco but agreed, easter is leaster and should be made beaster. any holiday with all sorts of traditional activities and stuff, yet pointedly has no gift-giving aspect (beyond the kids getting chocolate bunnies and candy beans) is complete crap. my birthdays not til August and Xmas was a while back already. I want some presents! or more specifically i want that hallmark card filled with cash which my aunt and uncle give me on Xmas and my bday!!

^^It's Moridin talking poo poo he doesn't know about. Again. Gatekeeper posted:no, we don't eat ham for dinner. you eat ham for dinner. i'll be eating lamb crown roast and osso buco I dunno about the no "gift giving", my family on both sides had a tradition of giving kids "presents" in Easter baskets when I was younger, decent stuff, too, like maybe a lego kit, GI Joe guy, or even *gasp* a vidya or something, not like a huge christmas deal or something, and many years my parents were fairly blue collar and I still got a toy of some kind. And yes, before you criticize me about the above, I understand that maybe you got a basket filled with an apple and one used shoe or something, I just didn't realize that was a deal and honestly my family was not well off so I figured giving a toy to a kid in an Easter basket wasn't a rare occasion.

Like, the opening strains of "Money for nothing" by Dire Straits hit and Jesus lowers himself from heaven looking like the Dude wearing sunglasses with a badass guitar with a bayonet on the end of it and then marches into the throngs of people.

I like pretty much all the minor holidays because it's an excuse to do something fun and different with your loved ones. Gonna chill with the gf, eat some chocolate, decorate some eggs, enjoy the weather being nice again, and cook a solid dinner. What's not to enjoy.

You love idolatry more than serving Christ. That's your choice. Just know that means that demons are gonna be 'decorating' your 'eggs' in hell (they gonna do a cock and ball torture on you)
