Easter’s Not The Same Anymore
And I don’t like it
I don’t know how big this Easter bunny is supposed to be, but look at the size of its feet!
I don’t like the part of Easter that involves kids getting presents. It’s a slightly smaller version of Christmas, and oh, so commercialised.
Tiernan just celebrated his first birthday, so he definitely doesn’t need any more gifts. And there are Cadbury chocolate eggs everywhere.
When the kids came up to my place, I said the Easter bunny had left a little something for each of them and gave them each a chocolate rabbit. Caelin asked, “Where’s the presents?”
Keeley then adds, “Eeew, Red Tulip. Didn’t you know Red Tulip is crap? Cadbury’s is the best.” I’ll save my money next year and maybe buy myself a chocolate egg.
Easter was much simpler when we were kids. On Saturday night, we’d leave our hats, usually straw, out filled with grass clippings for the Easter bunny to place eggs gently on top. One chocolate egg and two of those disgusting sugar eggs. That was it. We would eat our chocolate egg and leave the others until we were really hungry at some time in the future. Mine never got eaten.
