Jen and I were talking about how fewer and fewer people get Easter Monday off and in many places south of the boarder, they don't even get Good Friday (although they get lots of other holidays). This led to Jen asking if it was fair to still celebrate a religious holiday with a day off.
I think that Easter is like Christmas and has transcended the religious and moved into the secular. For those of us that think religion is a load of bunk, there are lots of other reasons to celebrate Easter. Easter is a time to spend time with family and friends. Easter is a time to celebrate chocolate. Let's face it, there are many reasons to celebrate chocolate. It is only the world's finest food and outside of beer, human kinds' greatest creation (space station be damned). Does anything compare to the divine feeling of that sweet ambrosia melting on your tongue?
I would be curious to find out how many people actually go to church to celebrate the gruesome murder of a man some 2000 years ago (seriously twisted). The rest of us still enjoy Easter and take it for what it is. They could change the name of the holiday to Kookamunga Chocolate Day and it would still be good holiday that everyone could partake of regardless of religion or background.
