Santa brings a person a lump of coal when they're naughty, right? So, what about the Easter bunny--does he/she/it take into consideration if you've been naughty or nice, or does it matter? I was hoping for a big basket of goodies tonight, but I was just told that I've been....not very nice.  So, now what??\n\nBTW, Happy Easter all! ;0)

Going to church for today. We did an Easter egg hunt earlier in the week with my two married sisters and their children. After three rounds of the children finding the eggs the adults hid, the fourth round was reversed, and adults had to find the (hard-boiled) eggs the children hid. It was hard! There's still one somewhere in the living room we couldn't find! Usually we celebrate Easter with reading part of the New Testament or Book of Mormon about Christ's death and resurrection. My little brother is 18 and too old for Easter baskets. My mom used to make "bunny bread" in the shape of a large bunny, or bunny rolls which included a little "tail" in the middle.

the only good thing that happened last night was that Luke called lorelai when april was believed to have appendicitis. I think that was a good thing. Did that not tell Luke something? Did that not tell Lorelai something? Or are they going to be dumb and not get back together. good luck and god bless and happy thanksgiving.

Personally, I don't buy for all of my family/friends.Most of the family still give gifts to me as they please, for which I am very, very thankful for and I let them know this. But, I've made it clear a long time ago that I am NOT going to feel obligated to purchase/give gifts - it defeats the purpose of gift giving!!!  \nJust mention politely before the holiday that you won't be giving this year, and "please do not feel obligated to give to me", something like that.\nIf they get snippy that is their issue! You can't be blamed that people have come to be selfish. Some people would rather get something from you knowing you didn't care, than to wait for a heart-felt present. That's their problem!

Christmas. I can feel the magic then.. you know.. magic of this time.. I don't feel it during Easter. it's just holiday as other ones.. nothing special for me.

I know.  I realize that there is some ritual in the ritual of CHRISTmas.  And just as you did in spelling it, some leave Christ out of the picture.  I believe that it is the family and the church's job to teach children that Chirstmas is not about gifts and a tree, and that Easter has nothing to do with some creepy rabbit. (Is it just me or is the Easter Bunny borderline pedophile?)  My parents always taught what the true meaning of Chirstmas was.  I never believed in Santa, the Easter Bunny, or any of that foolishness because my parents told me it was foolishness from jump street. If we do that, then children are capable of seperating the two.

Maybe because it's a Pagan holiday? Don't say it's stupid before asking him the details of why. I personally don't like how commercialized the holiday has become. It's not about spending money, it's about spending time with your loved ones. It's Jesus' birthday, not ours, so exchanging material is so very trife.

WoW! It's unbelievable how some get so angry over this question.! I don't actually care what it's called; winterval or otherwise. I know it's not popular, but...here goes anyway.....\nDecember 25th, according to the Bible, (which is the ultimate and true word, on this subject and all others,) This date, has Pagan origins, and was declared to be Christ's birthday, by humans. The truth, which as Christians, we should be seeking, is that Christ was actually born in the Fall of the year, (Feast of Trumpets and Feast of Tabernacles Holy Days, are the time of the year when Christ was actually born.) Dec. 25th is the date that Mary was Immaculately conceived, BTW)\nMost people dont want to hear this; it's too hard to change some beliefs. BUT God does tell us to worship in Spirit and in Truth...soooo.... I guess it will be offensive to some! That's the way the Christmas cookie crumbles!\nThese facts about Jesus' real birthday have absolutely nothing to do with being politically correct...They were Biblical and true, before all this nonsense about stuff like that. \nAnyone who seeks the truth about Jesus' birthday, can read it in the Bible; those of us who know that December 25th is not His birthday, have already proved it to ourselves, and find comfort in knowing the truth that Christ has allowed us to know. \nIt's not about taking away a "religious" holiday....It's fine with me if people celebrate Dec 25th, no matter what it's called...but....in reality, since it's not Christ's birthday, it's just a tradition, a fun one perhaps, once you get thru all the hassles involved with shopping, the greed of the merchants, the expectations of what you're going to receive, the stress, not to mention the bills and the cookies that didn't turn out, and the commercialism! \nSo...call it anything...doesn't matter anyway...and I hate to be a party pooper..but Christ doesn't belong in it to begin with...\nWhy not just call it a WinterFest, and be done with it ? That's all it is, anyway!!!

Every year on christmas eve "the birds" (santas) leave new pyjamas on our beds to let us know Santa has left the north pole. Since I moved out 2 years ago mum arranged for my fiancee to leave new pjs on my bed for me, I think its a really lovely tradition that i'll carry on when I have children of my own.\nMy dad used to wrap up useless presents to give to all the adults, like used spark plugs etc, all the kids thought it was hilarious, even more so because it infuruated mum.\n\nI really like suprise presents, santa would hide a few "extra" presents around the house with our names on them... usually something we really wanted, and a few unexpected things.

I wanted a Barbie Dream house.  I got a Barbie camper instead.  \n\nBut, what should I have expected from the parents whom I asked for Donny and Marie or Sonny and Cher dolls.  I got Donny and Cher!\n\nI always planned on getting that dream house for my daughter, and I was blessed with sons.  (Since they are now teenagers, I'm thanking God every day though!)

I see nothing wrong with honoring a person with a cenotaph, so neither do I see anything wrong with honoring Jesus on a day that was not his birthday.  Not that Christmas is only about Jesus or Christianity anymore.  I personally like some of its secular aspects, though, like most people, I regret that it has become so commercialized.

Thanks for the question\n\nYou remember the controversy over that cartoon about our prophet (pbuh)? We, muslims, were very offended because in our religion it is forbidden to produce images of prophets. Anyway, since we believe Jesus (pbuh) was a prophet it would be offensive to us to produce his image as much as it has been with that case.\nI understand your honest intentions, but personaly i would really not allow my child to bring that doll in our house ...... i hope you understand why.\nAnd no - we don't celebrate Christmas .... we celebrate Eid and that's when children recieve presents. We have to Eids a year (one after the month of fasting is over and the other one which comes exactly 2 months and 10 days after the 1st one ..... which is falling around New Year, not so sure now.\n\npeace and blessings :)\n\nEDIT: yes, i agree with my fellow brother and sisters who answered this before ........... if it makes u happy and if it strengthens your faith - PLEASE, feel free to yell ''I LOVE JESUS''

You've got it all wrong.  Christmas is only December 25.  It is consumerism that "celebrates" Christmas from right after Halloween until the New Year.  How else do you encourage spending if you don't consistently and strongly commercialize the concept of gift-giving during the holidays?  I agree with you, it isn't necessary to hammer the idea of Christmas in the stores or in the media, soon after you've received your trick-or-treat loot but that is the way of the world we live in.  We have gotten away from the true meaning of the celebration.\n\nHanukkah is recognized, not just in the very commercial way that Christmas is.  For that matter, don't forget Kwaanza for those who choose to celebrate that holiday or the Winter Solstice for the Wiccan community.

I don't believe in the Easter Bunny. That's because I used to BE the Easter Bunny. In my youth, I took a seasonal job playing the Easter Bunny at a store. I had to wear a giant, furry rabbit suit that smelled like the worst body odor on Earth. Some of the little kids liked the big Easter Bunny, but other children were frightened, to the point that they would occasionally wet themselves. A kid piddled on my lap. It was unbelievably hot in the bunny suit, and I was sweating like a monster. Dye from some of the bunny fur seeped into my skin, temporarily discoloring it. It's one of those jobs that's interesting to add to a resume, but I don't think I'd ever do it again.

Well my favorite Easter treats are seeing all my family, in-laws too! Today i made Easter dinner :) it was great. Then, it is usually sunny on Easter, i like to go out into the woods, and enjoy what god gave us. I also like the Easter basket my mom has made me for the last 25 years. my guilty pleasure. Then at the end of the day i like to thank god for all he has given us. (actually i do that every night, but hey!) Hope you had a fantastic Easter yourself and got to enjoy all the wonderful things about it as well. What is your favorite treat? if you don't mind me asking! Have a good day!
