Easter is coming soon and the stores are crammed with everything Easter; chocolate eggs, bunnies and multicolored peeps adorn the shelves of every grocery store.
I agree with a lot of this. Our children definitely need to be taught the true meaning of Easter….and Christmas. And we need to FOCUS on that true meaning. I love Easter and Christmas and love to find and carry out ways that bring the real reason of the season to my family and home.
I also agree that these sacred holidays have been hijacked by those who only care about the almighty dollar. They are in for one thing…to capitalize. I think it is WAY overdone with ALL holidays.
But….I also don’t have a problem with having fun along with teaching the true meaning. FIRST AND FOREMOST teach them the truth…what it’s REALLY all about, do lots of activities that bring that alive…THEN the extra little fun SPRINGTIME activities. We all need to have some fun! I, personally, don’t have a problem with adding those things in as long as my family understands that that is all it is…fun.
I feel the same about Halloween! It’s fun! And that’s ALL it is!

Thank you for sharing these thoughts. I agree, it isn't harmful to have fun, but it can be when it becomes to the sole focus.
“The bunny needs to die... and not be resurrected.” 😂
Overall I agree. I don’t understand the bunny, and the amount of chocolate is sickening. But egg hunts are a blast.
