This is the strangest holiday, you can call it Easter or Ostara or Buck Toothed Bunny Day, to me it's an excuse to have some fun with kids. The Great Bunny snuck in this morning and left all kinds of crap and he pooped eggs all over the yard. That crazy bunny! He must have laid 100 plastic eggs filled with goodies, can you bewieve dat!? All I could say was, "Whoa!" I hate thinking about how much I spent on this crazy day and as I look around at the mess, chocolate bunnies, animated chicks, stuffed bunnies, bug catchers, new clothes, giant bubble makers, puzzles, books, race cars, all Lissa can say is "GRAMA TUWELLA GOT ME A PLASTIC BUCKET!!!!!"*
Holy shit, a plastic bucket. Way to go, Ma. Have a good one, hope it's peaceful. :)

I loved the egg hunts and Easter stuff with my kids and their friends!
Maybe Lissa was surprised Grama Tuwella got her something for Easter? And not surprised by that you got her gifts/stuff? Anyway, made me laugh as usual here. Cheers!
Yes Happy Easter or whatever it is to you Day!

Don't ya love the things that kids get excited over! Glad you guys are having a sugarbuzzed sweet day!
It was a pretty good morning. She was happy excited kid. I like that. I love the things she says when she's excited.
Well, it came from Passover. Passover happens this month on the full moon and Easter is the Sunday during it. The Last Supper was a Pasover seder.
We give up all bread and fermented things because the Jews ran for our lives with just the shit we could carry on our backs @ this time way back in the day when we were slaves. That included dough which didn't have time to rise. This I think is where Lent came from.
I like the holiday as it focuses heavily on tzedakah, or charity. The door's left over and a aplace set out for anyone off the street to come in if they're hungry.
The eggs and bunnies and stuff prob came from the older paganier European stuff.
Easter does sound a lot like Ishtar, also Esther, which we have a super-pan-y holiday for.
Taking time out of my very Jewy, Jewy day (Lewis Black).

It's plastic bucket day.
I'd like to say, there was nothing in it! It was a yellow plastic empty fucking bucket. I have to go make up cuss words now.
I'm not religious at all ever but my kid does enjoy coloring eggs. It was above 40 degrees today, (Northern Michigan) so we set up the patio furniture and I let her color her eggs outside. I then went into the garage for the first time this year and found my "art" box. I got some charcoal pencils and we drew pictures of the trees. I did get a ham earlier in the week but it was too nice outside to cook, so we had LaChoy from the can and some jasmine rice which we ate outside. A very nice day indeed. Not very Eastery but a good day with her. She's 11 and I am the most uncool human to ever walk the face of the earth, so any time with her not giving me the side eye is good time.
ah...an empty yellow plastic bucket for an imaginitive child to fill!
