Easter - it's just a scam! What do you think?

Easter, like Christmas, Valentines Day, etc. are just over-hyped monetised commercial scams IMHO. I'm not religious in any way.

Christmas is a family thing with has nothing to do with God, or any other sky fairy. Focus on family.

Call me a heretic. Religion is so over-done IMHO.

you're old enough (maybe) to have seen the way xmas has been "sanitized" over the last 2 or 3 decades.

when I was growing up there were plenty of christmas carols - people singing and going to church and it was much more religious

now it's people getting together - and the music might be playing - but as background.

is it commercialized? well business normally do the biggest part of their business in november and december.

so they pump up easter (which is mainly candy, ham, and new clothes) to build up some biz.

actually halloween seems to be getting more popular than christmas

and do we have to mention mardis gras :)
