TheDoozer ,

Easter isn't even about Jesus. At least Christmas has the name, and some manger imagery, and other Christian-based stuff they can stamp on top of Saturnalia, but Easter is still named after the goddess of fertility with all the accompanying fertility and spring parts, from eggs to rabbits, to little sprouting plants and whatnot.

And I get that the Christians try to associate that spring renewal and rebirth with the resurrection, but I think that's a pretty big stretch to try to make it work.

Easter is not about Jesus. Every time somebody says "keep Christ in Christmas" I want to say "then get him out of Easter."
