Happy Easter!
Although I respect and adhere to Easter's religious roots, like most holiday's it usually comes down to family, friends and food. Although feasting is a traditional way to celebrate most festivities, we in North American are not content with simply a delicious meal. On Easter, we purr over cute little bunnies while we scarf down cute little pigs. We add every form of candy possible from chocolate eggs, chocolate bunnies, both white and milk, chocolate chicks, Cadbury cream eggs, mini eggs (my favorite) and of course we can't forget peeps!
Giving in to self gratification, whether it be food or sex is sort of an odd thing. Society in many ways sends messages that it is bad and unhealthy to give in to our desires. At the same time, it creates a massive amount of industries that profit off our inability to say no. We are supposed to be 'good' most of the year and spurge on the holidays, yet if we did that, most of these business's would fail to exist. My annoying need to buck what society wants me to has me refusing to buy anything Easter related on Easter, while going crazy hunting down Cadbury mini eggs in May and June. Happy Easter everyone, enjoy your family, enjoy your friends, enjoy your day and especially....enjoy your food!
