    Good idea! Seperate Easter from the hallmark holiday for kids and candy! I couldn't have thought of anything better. I actually celebrate Easter on March 21 like a good Pagan and do so with solomn respect to the coming season of rebirth. I ALSO celebrate the hallmark/Christian "easter" with bunnies and candy and a family get together. There's nothing Christian about another day for giving children free candy and toys. There's also nothing Christian about buying bunnies on a whim to give to kids who don't know how to take care of them. Or maybe there is...

    The elementary school I work at still puts up christmas trees in each room. I call them a fire hazard.

    Excellent response to it all! (..much better than "spring spheres.")

    I agree with you about the trees, too. How ARE they able to pull that off these days, when other places are coming up with "spring spheres?" Good on you!

    Let's all be intolerant towards everyone! THEN we'll all get along! (I hate political correctness.....as well as 'my way or the highway' activists of any stripe)
