Easter ftw every time.

Christmas sucks; loads of expense, too much food, silly decorations, cold weather (in the proper hemisphere anyway) and crap TV.

Easter- hot x buns, chocolate eggs, fab weather (well it is in the UK anyway). Plus Easter moves around the month so it's not so predictable as Christmas, AND we have May Bank holiday next Monday week. AND a couple of Royals tying the know so we get the Friday off which means for using 3 days holiday we get 11 days off.

Christmas pah humbug!

Jelly beans. Little concentrated doses of sugar to pull your fillings out. I'd sell my sister for good jelly beans. Well, rent her out, anyway.

Jelly beans and chocolate? Man you have completely the wrong idea. I think you need counselling.

I would never mix jelly beans and chocolate!! That's why I didn't mention chocolate at all!

Thanksgiving, even if it's just to be thankful for making it through another harvest before the weather turned, which is what I think it was all about to begin with.

It is really kind of sad. People arguing over the symbolic ritual of commercialism, while failing to see and understand the true relevance of both events.

I agree, I like easter better. It used to be the chief Christian holiday until it was supplanted by Christmas Madison Avenue style

The latter isn't true, at least not for everyone who posted in this thread. Can I say it's really kind of sad that you assume people who are light-hearted about a small aspect of something are blind to the rest?

Btw I don't celebrate Easter or Christmas as religious calendar events; in fact I don't celebrate religious calendar events at all.

It's all about the time off work and the weather for me 🙂
