Happy Easter or alternatively Chocolate Day, everyone!

Or, if you're living in a country where it's not recognised, I'm very sorry we have a five-day weekend and you don't. ;)

Oh, that was nasty, sorry.

... no, it's not. However, there are many people in this world, myself included, who don't celebrate Easter as a religious holiday who, for whatever reason, don't believe that Jesus died and rose again. I don't believe it because I'm atheist, but of course there are many other reasons.

This being the case, it is not always appropriate to wish someone Happy Easter; someone Jewish, for example, might not appreciate it; similarly anyone living in a non-Western culture. Because LJ in general, and I hope my LJ in particular, is open to people of any religious stripe, it is therefore not always appropriate to wish the entire f-list happy easter.

Believe me, I am familiar with Easter in its form as a Christian celebration, and I didn't mean to imply that Easter itself was about chocolate. ;) To me, it's just a holiday where I get to eat chocolate, so, Chocolate Day (or, really, Chocolate Long Weekend.) For me it really doesn't have any higher significance. Obviously it's different for you, so Happy Easter! :) I hope it's a joyous occasion for you and your family. <3

Easter is not about the chocolate though. At all. Maybe people who don't beileve in Easter should have their own chocolate day that doesn't coincide with Easter. If you aren't religious, you shouldn't celebrate it. That's just my thoughts.

That would be fine if it's an option. But Easter is a compulsory public holiday. If you don't want people who aren't Christian to eat chocolate on a day that coincides with your religious festival, then you need to stop it being a public holiday.

As it is, Easter is no longer wholly the property of Christians. As I said, I don't celebrate Easter like a Christian would because I'm not Christian. I do eat chocolate eggs on Easter Sunday- but then eggs don't really have much to do with Easter either.

As I was saying, I didn't intend to imply that Easter, the rligious celebration, is about chocolate. But if you're not religious, or rather not Christian, the Easter public holiday is about chocolate, or maybe about a five-day weekend. That's just the way it is.

Oh come on. You force the damn festival on us and then forbid us to do anything? Get over yourself, Cindy.

I don't force it on you at all. I've always thought that the week shouldn't be a holiday, it should only be for Christians only.

I don't have anything to get over.
