  Reasons Easter Is Uncool*
1. Easter egg hunts. What hunt? Big matted field with tufts of hay "hiding" some crappy pieces of plastic. If you are small and passive, you will be pushed down and trampled by the other children.

2. Scariest ghost story ever.

3. Chocolate Easter bunnies = depressing.

4. Pastel colors. Unflattering and everywhere.

5. Church-related discomforts: Ash Wednesday (black smudges on the foreheads of my friends); Palm Sunday (cloying smell); Lent (unexplained).

*To a child at least; that's the last time I remember celebrating it.
 
Comments:
In reference to #2, I drove past a church today with a sign that said "He has risen! Be afraid!" I'm not Christian, but I didn't think the easter message was about fear...
 
I'm with you on the scary ghost story but don't find the bunnies depressing. They don't hear a thing after the first bite.
 
JAG: I'm not sure what the Easter message is about. I think it's mostly about guilt. Was this a Baptist church?

Dale: Ouch.
 
Hi Joy!

Lent is supposed to be about giving something up--for 40 days, I believe--as Christ gave up his life for all of (hu)mankind.

In a move that seems to amuse only me, I pull lines from the blogs I hit on the Next Blog button, and arrange them into found poem form.
