Easter ftw every time.
Christmas sucks; loads of expense, too much food, silly decorations, cold weather (in the proper hemisphere anyway) and crap TV.
Easter- hot x buns, chocolate eggs, fab weather (well it is in the UK anyway). Plus Easter moves around the month so it's not so predictable as Christmas, AND we have May Bank holiday next Monday week. AND a couple of Royals tying the know so we get the Friday off which means for using 3 days holiday we get 11 days off.
Christmas pah humbug!

Originally posted by shortcircuitThe latter isn't true, at least not for everyone who posted in this thread. Can I say it's really kind of sad that you assume people who are light-hearted about a small aspect of something are blind to the rest?
It is really kind of sad. People arguing over the symbolic ritual of commercialism, while failing to see and understand the true relevance of both events.
