Its not a major US holiday. Its a religious holiday.

Christmas is also a major US holiday.


That is a federal holiday. Easter is not.

Christmas is also a *religious* holiday.
Too bad, huh?


Not really. I know tons of non Christians who celebrate Christmas. It’s not religious at all for most people.

Christ-mas. Please notice the first six letters. Your friends are free to celebrate, or not, any way they want. This is still America, thank God!


Yet based on pagan traditions.

Easter moves around according the the timing of the full moon. Pagan



Not at all. The celebration of the resurrection is incorporated into traditional holidays of the first century, similar to Christmas. Had nothing to do with modern day pagans.


You are celebrating a holiday based on pagan imagery- rabbits and eggs. Even the word Easter is based on a pagan goddess. Therefore- if you celebrate Easter in this way- you are basically pagan. Your illogical last sentence makes zero sense.



I don’t celebrate rabbits and eggs, PP. I celebrate the risen Christ.


Your kids must be bummed they don’t get to dye eggs or receive an Easter basket.



Np and mine do both. We celebrate Jesus and enjoy candy and eggs. Imagine actually being able to hold two thoughts at one time! I guess that’s hard for people like PP.

Maybe people want the choice to work or not work.


Please. Americans are hideous about all the crap they buy. Workers need a break.


Oh ok you speak for the workers. Great
So they should unionize. Right?

The word June is also named for a pagan goddess and most of the world's Christians don't use the term Easter. These kinds of arguments are frankly very silly.


Yeah I don't care if June is named for Juno or Wednesday is named for Odin. I'm not the one jumping up and down proclaiming how holy and pure and Christian the day is. That's the difference.

It’s not religious for most people. Everyone loves Santa and presents!

Again, this is America! Be grateful that you have the freedom to choose if you’re open for business on Christmas or Easter. Or Ramadan, for that matter. When I lived in Lower Manhattan, Jews closed on their Sabbath. What’s wrong with that? Absolutely nothing. Stop being such a control freak.


Meh. Most stores were open today around me.

Easter is connected to that full moon because it's connected to Passover and the Hebrew Calendar is (partially) based on the moon. They moon isn't inherently pagan.
