I was a practicing Catholic 'til the age of 8, when my folks started breaking apart.
Last night was Wayne's World, a regular D&D group I run with about once or twice a month. It was down in Colorado Springs. And predictably, gramma and the kids were dying eggs. In mostly artistic and creative ways, so that's cool for them. And they'll be hiding them this morning, and going out to find them, and bringing them back and eating them somehow.
To me, Easter is a kid's holiday. I'm not allergic to chocolate, but I'd rather have a Reces Pieces cup than most chocolate bunnies (though I'm sure some are made from good quality stuff, those I've tried have seemed like pastic dyed brown and flavored chocolate). Peeps are fun, but so horribly bad for you. I'm not a health nut by any stretch, but don't we have enough holidays where kids are encouraged to beg for and then gorge on mass quantities of candy?
I have fond memories of the Easters of the 70s, but because of the strong kid-association with the holiday, I don't feel it has anything to do with me anymore. This coming from a guy who has a room in his house literally filled with dragons -- yes, I have an inner child, but it Easter has no attraction to it. For whatever reason. For my first Easter in my apartment after college, I did go out and buy some eggs and dye. But I never even opened the package.

Are you also allergic to carob?
