Well, maybe Ironic isn't the best way of describing it, but I was referring to doing the whole Easter bunny leaves chocolate everywhere, people eat them routine everyone seems to go through, right after church where the priest spent about 15 minutes explaining how commercial traditions tend to overshadow the actual holiday in question.
Of course, I didn't get yelled at, literally, nor do I hate the holiday, I was exaggerating for the sake of trying to be funny. Which I clearly failed at once more.
And before anyone starts, yes, I am fully aware that a large portion of Christian holidays are mostly remixed versions of pagan mythology and traditions.
Those or truffles.
The rarest of which will be my ticket out of prison.

So. Let's all pause for a moment to smell what the Rock was, is, and forever will be... cooking.—Cave JohnsonWe used to go to church, but now we just eat chocolate. Which I can't enjoy anymore, seeing as I'm on a diet.
So yeah, Easter doesn't do much for me.
Looking for some stories?Happy Easter, (becomes a March Hare) xD (leaves chocolate at the door)

In an anime, I'll be the Tsundere Dark Magical Girl who likes purple MY own profile is actually HERE!For context, the easter bunny is common here among the richer families. The ones that send their kids to shitty schools on the US instead of our own shitty schools right here, or those in private schools.
Outside of that, nobody really minds it too much. We just got drunk for easter, like every other easter. Now, some people respect Lent, and fish markets have a predictable increase in profit. But the bunny thing seems to be from somewhere else. I still have not had a satisfactory answer on the origin of the bunny.
Reads Wikipedia: It says it's because people used to believe hares could reproduce without having sex, leading to them being associated with the Virgin Mary. It also may have something to do with the Three Hares
.
That's probably the best answer you'll get. At least it's a better answer than "bunny = Spring = Easter".

(*Whining about the absurdness of the political-correctizing of holidays here*)
Likethe Spring Bunny and Spring egg decorating kits.
And Spring candy. (*even it it still says "Happy EASTER" on the inside of the wrapper*)

The 5 geek social fallacies. Know them well.

Pretty depressed that I didn't decide to head home, since it seems like my group members actually did and we'll start construction tomorrow. The dorms are pretty much barren and will be until at least 5.
And I'm missing out on some free sweets.
Yes I'm 19 and no I am not ashamed to admit that I want a basket of chocolate for Easter.
