Is it really a holiday?

| | Comments (2)

One of the great things about not being religious is that I have more time for other things.  I don't have to go anywhere today because of the holiday.  If my moot court team had actually won the semi-final on Thursday, I would have all weekend to devote to working on the last round.  As it is, I'm pretty sure my friend and I are just going to hang out and have dinner.  Still, the point is that we would have plenty of time.

Easter is a funny holiday anyway.  You spend the day before coloring eggs, and then this giant, sadistic mutant rabbit steals them and hides them.  When I was a kid, the Easter Bunny terrified me.  I seem to remember that my mother had to get the saber-toothed beast to sneak up behind me for the picture.  That's why I'm so well-adjusted now.


Big Sharp Pointy Teeth!

Then, of course, there are all the religious bits.  I really don't know much about that.  I've read the Bible a few times, but I've learned that has little to do with religion.  Easter is apparently the anniversary of this guy coming back from the dead.  Everybody gathers at the tomb, anxiously waiting as he makes his way up to the surface.  Then, if he sees his shadow, we know that we'll have six more weeks of spring!

Or is that different holiday?

I hope so, because if I end up in some kind of heaven, I'll be pretty lonely. None of my friends will be there!
