GENTLEMEN OF 63, TO INCLUDE LURKERS
EASTER
A HOLIDAY OR HOLYDAY.
GROWING UP IN A CATHOLIC FAMILY, I KIND OF THOUGHT THAT I KNEW WHAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT.
SO WRONG.
SOMEHOW IT IS REALLY ABOUT A RABBIT HIDING EGGS. BRIGHTLY COLORED EGGS.
I 'M SURE WIKIPEDIA HAS AN EXPLANATION, BUT I JUST TRY IN MY OWN MIND TO IMAGINE
HOW THIS CAME TO BE.
A MARKETER MUST HAVE DECIDED THAT HIDING LITTLE GRAVES OF JESUS WOULDN'T SELL.
THEY MUST HAVE DECIDED THAT RABBITS WERE CUTE AND LOVABLE.
THEN THEY WERE FACED WITH HOW TO MARKET NEW BORN BABY RABBITS HIDEN AROUND THE
HOUSE-- NAW THAT WON'T SELL!
HOW ABOUT AN EASTER CHICKEN AND EGGS?
EGGS GOOD- CHICKENS BAD.
OKAY THEY DID RABBITS AND EGGS. THE CHILDREN WON'T THINK IT OUT.
THEN WE JUMP INTO THE POLITCALLY CORRECT WORLD.
A PRESIDENT DECIDES IT WILL BRING HIM FAVOR BY HAVING AN EGG HUNT AND ROLLING
ON THE WHITE HOUSE LAWN.
THE PARENTS AND REPORTERS LOVED IT!
PROBLEM--- THE EGGS BROKE TOO EASILY.
SOLUTION-- PAY SOME WOODWOOKER BIG TAX DOLLARS TO MAKE THOUSANDS OF WOODEN EGGS.
BOTTOM LINE
THE BIBLICAL EVENT OF A RESURRECTION HELD SACRED BY MANY, HAS BEEN REDUCED TO
A "BUNNY" AND AN EGG-- SOMETIMES WOODEN.
QUESTION TO A SIX YEAR OLD "WHAT IS CHRISTMAS?"
"A PRETTY TREE AND LOTS OF PRESENTS"
"WHAT IS EASTER?"
"A CUTE BUNNY RABBIT , COLORED EGGS"
"WHAT IS THE 4TH OF JULY?"
"BAR B Q AND FIRE WORKS"
"WHAT IS VETERANS DAY?"
" VETERAN?"
