Now, unless you're religious and want to celebrate the day our J.C woke up from his 3 day nap, Easter usually isn't a big deal. I, however, was informed that this year, was the last time I was going to be allowed to join in the Easter egg hunt with my 5 year old niece... Disappointed isn't even the word! There were tears and tantrums, and they were just from me.
Easter now is basically just shops having an excuse to sell more chocolate but in a different form, so that kids can slowly eat themselves into a sugar coma and become a dentist's delight over the course of the day. And you guys thought it was all about Jesus!
Personally, I believe that Easter for the Atheists (or Atheieaster, as I like to call it) should be directed more towards the adults. Think of all the things you could do! Instead of just hiding eggs, you could hide little bottles of alcohol and then have Easter drinking games. My favourite one that I've read about is putting sticking some bunny ears on top of the TV, and when they align so they look like they're on someone's head, you take a drink. Family fun.
Or, in contrast, we go about it as a normal day, and just eat chocolate because we can. Oh, wait...
I may sound bitter, but Easter really does seem to be more and more commercial and less about religion. I'm not fussed, as I'm not religious and have many issues with Christianity, so I thought letting my views out in a light hearted manner would be the best for everyone. I'm not complaining, I'm sat here, eating one of my Easter eggs. Such is life!
Have a good one. :)
