I am a Christian and think Easter is great for that reason.
but I agree with you about the eggs and the baskets and the ham. When I was a kid, my parents just gave me a few candy bars and that seemed fine. I am not sure why I have to hide all these plastic eggs for my kids. I feel like they would be fine if I just handed them a bag of gummy nerds.
Re ham, my in-laws always say things like, “oh, this is a really good ham.” Is there really “good” or “bad” ham? I have pretty discriminating food tastes usually, but ham seems like ham, to me. It’s all pretty meh.
