Easter...... Creeping Up Slowly

I find it exceptionally interesting how little attention people in general pay to Easter. With Christmas there's all this hype for up to two months before, with plenty of sales and things at store. The realm of presents during Christmas is along the vein of 'anything goes' . Heck, they even have Santa plastered all over Coke bottles!!

With Easter, any 'presents' are limited to chocolate. Store sales are limited to choclate. Everything essentially revolves around chocolate shaped into the vague likeness of eggs or rabbits. Easter just doesn't hold the same place in peoples hearts and minds as Christmas.

If you look at the religous significance of the two days, however, it would seem that Easter should be ranked higher. Sure, the birth of Christ as a human is pretty up there, but his death and resurrection you think would be the most important, it being kinda the reason he came in the first place. I suppose this is just another example of commercialism coming along and ruining everything for everyone.

Have a Good Friday.
