An occaision of deep religious significance.
A time to enjoy, even for people who are not religious.
Maybe it’s a day for family traditions. A day for generations to gather. A day for kids to have fun. A day to reflect on a new season.
Unlike Christmas, there seems to be little marketing pressure from retailers. Christmas merchandise begins to go up in stores in late August. Easter is more of a take it or leave it event. No scolding about what to say when exchanging Easter greetings. No obligation to make a gift list. Not a federal holiday. No need for a giant government to pretend to play a role here.
No unusually crowded stores, shipping outlets or ferry and air terminals because of Easter.
Good Stuff.
