Yes, it’s Easter and it’s supposed to be a religious holiday. Something about when Jesus was raised from the dead. Ok, that might have been a bit blasphemous. Regardless, it’s never really been a religious holiday for me. I remember as a kid, doing all the fun easter egg hunts. Decorating the eggs, that was so much fun.
I don’t really remember much about the Easter Bunny, mainly because I never really got too involved in that. I know the Easter Bunny was supposed to be hiding the eggs, but I really knew that it was adults doing all that work. I don’t really even remember thinking it was supposed to be the Easter Bunny.
But I never got gifts or anything like that for Easter. I remember the first time I saw that parents were giving their kids real gifts like Christmas. I was like, “WTF?” but I guess that’s what you do on Easter. I never knew. To me, Easter was just a holiday where you hunt for easter eggs and get candy. That’s about it. It was like halloween for me.
But as an adult, I guess getting involved with easter egg hunts is not exactly the thing to do. It almost does seem like the magic dies when you grow up. Indeed.
