Being raised a Christian, I feel I should know about these things, but through various lifestyle choices, I have long let my Catholic membership lapse. It is times like these though, that I do consider the bigger picture... and come up with a whole lot of nothing.
What does chocolate have to do with Easter?
Why do we exchange gifts on Easter Sunday?
What do rabbits have to do with Easter? And since when do they lay eggs?
Why do we eat fish on Good Friday? And what's 'Good' about it anyway?
All very valid questions - and ones that I will no doubt be hearing from the short one in time to come.
All in good time though, and hopefully by then I will have some semblance of a reasonable response. Until such time, I am all for promulgating the Easter Bunny and partaking in the excesses of Easter. And while I'm at it, I won't say no to a couple of public holidays!
