Actually, if you read the retail comic strip it has a whole month dedicated to that one story line for the sunday strip.

I'll give you an real example.

Easter morning, 2011 years after the supposed Christ was born. My little sister jumps out of bed at 6:30 in the morning and immediatly finds her easter basket and finds toys and candy... Sound a bit like christmas?

Christmas morning, 2011 years after Christ dies (I think). My sister jumps out of bed at 6:00 in the morning and immediately takes down her stalking. Inside the stalking are toys and candy... Sounds a bit like Easter?

I'm not saying Easter sucks, or that it's wrong to treat Easter like Christmas (actually I am). But I just think that if there's another Christmas imagine the strain on parents. Spendings tons of money on kids during Christmas is enough, who needs that again a mere 4 months later?

What I'm saying... Is don't treat easter like Christmas, it's not fair to your parents or grandparents, or any family member.

Maybe I'm just typing this up because nothing is happening in the forums.... Because I am. And I like to see my topics get discussion. So input your opinions of Eastermas, and tell your experiences of sitting of St. Easters lap.

The Easter bunny is a pagan symbol of fertility, probably tracing its origin from being the protected/blessed/favorite/pet animal of Ostara, (or Eostre in old English), Goddess of fertility. Bunnies being, you know, fertile (they breed like them, of course!).


So... We should call Easter Day... Sex Day... Yes!I like how scientific this is getting, but not extremely interested in the origins of the Easter Bunny (Sex Bunny).

Krizaz, this is not so much scientific as it is historical.

Just because I used the wrong word doesn't mean you get to add to your post count. Wait a minute....

This is sad. "Jesus died on christmas" and "Jesus was born on Easter", i really hope you were joking.

Anyways. I agree that both Easter and Christmas are way too commercialized. If Easter became a second Christmas, i would get pissed. Both have basically lost their meanings. I like how the Charlie Brown Christmas puts it. Im really surpised it's still shown, considering all the censorship lately

Actually, I had no idea. I have no interest in religion and always get the two mixed up. I know their religious holidays, but thats about it.

Same, even with the presents. Although, my sister would not care at all. It'd be way too much strain.

What does Charlie Browns Christmas have in it thats offensive?
