[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My entire FB feed was full of parents posting Easter basket pics. I think it's stupid. Just another thing to buy from pottery barn kids, another reason to fill your kids up with chemicals and sugar, and totally forget the major religious "reason for the season."

I'm not even religious and I find the commercializations of this holiday apprehensible

Agree. It is the biggest and most important Christian holiday. Pick another day to eat candy and give presents. It's offensive to not believe in God yet "celebrate Easter". [/quote]

It's a cultural holiday.  People who grew up celebrating it don't need to apologize for passing on what is largely a spring holiday to their children, whether they are religious or not.  You can't take all the pagan trappings for yourself and complain when others "celebrate Easter."[/quote]

It is absolutely not a cultural holiday. Easter is a Christian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus. It is not largely a spring holiday. It's only the last 10 years or so that's it has become commercialized. People who are passing down the Easter traditions to their children are doing so by omitting the church part and keeping the baskets and candy. But that doesn't mean it is not a RELIGIOUS HOLIDAY.[/quote]

Some holidays have both religious and cultural aspects.  To each her own.[/quote]
