It's started already here with Lissa dragging in assorted baskets and bags full of candy given to her by my mother and her mother. Easter is not until the 24th and in my house it's Ostara, which is the 20th. It irritates me that I'm the one responsible for my grand daughter's holidays and everyone else just hands her bags full of sugar nearly a month early. I packed it all up and handed it to Tuella after I caught my dog in a bag of Sweet Tart jelly eggs. Lissa doesn't even like them, but, she liked the plastic chicken that shits them out it's plastic ass all over my carpet. We go through this crap every holiday and it seems like there's nothing to look foreward to with all this pre-crap all over the house. Oh, and the kid told me she expects a cell phone in her Ostara basket this year. I said, you're six, you are not getting a phone. AND you are never calling Justin Beiber. I hate holidays.

I hate them too.
When I was growing up this time of year was about spring and jesus, wearing a new easter outfit to church no matter how cold it was, having a big family feast, an easter egg hunt on the lawn, and THEN candy. Now it's about cell phones? I understand the massive candy overload, but CELL PHONES???
Pat, I feel for ya!
Oh, I didn't even go into the hints about how the kid should be taught the meaning of "their" religious holiday. I was afraid I'd blow a gasket. That is NOT my job, I am a Pagan, it is about Spring Equinox. Sorry if she isn't educated about the bible, get off your lazy ass and take her to Sunday school if that's a concern. PISS ME THE FUCK OFF.
Deep breath. Sorry.
Are you telling me they are expecting you to also provide her with a christian education?
RUDE BEYOND BELIEF.
I'd rather provide the phone!
We've never celebrated Easter around here. When my son was very young he got an Easter basket but that stopped around 8 or so. Easter doesn't show up on my radar. I have no idea when it is. Every first Sunday in April? The 2nd Thursday in March? No frickin' clue. Yet another reason for my son to be emo. Not enough Easter cell phones...
I think she was just testing limits with the cell phone. She knows she's not getting a phone. And Beiber can suck me.
As for her biblical knowledge, hey, I have never missed a solstice celebration with her. She's never gone to church. Ever. Who's damn fault is that? I'm doin' my job. If she grows up Pagan, well, what else would she be? Durr.
I agree 100%. A lot of people nowadays want their kids to grow up to be Christians without putting ANY effort into teaching them religion. You wind up with young people who've never been in a church, know nothing about the bible, and yet call themselves Christians and insist that "God doesn't care about all that anyway." To me, they're just covering their bases. They don't want to put in the effort that their religion requires, but they don't have the balls to say they're agnostic either. Half of my family are crazy as shithouse rats when it comes to God but at least they tote their asses to church regularly. Christians who know less about the bible than I, an atheist, do just piss me off.
Well said, Tonya.
Thank you, Angie.
I know the shithouse rats..they're related to me too.
DD, It's because we live in the midwest. It's shithouse crazy, hee haw Hell.
