Must be a Christian holiday coming up, the *Giant Inflatable Pagan Symbols are back. This time there's a seven foot tall pink inflatable rabbit with faux wicker basket at the head of a neighbor's driveway and a clutch of two foot long pastel eggs further down the street. Not nearly the menagerie from last time around, but then Easter is not nearly as commercialized as Christmas. Still, I don't get the logic of promoting symbols of the Old Religion's spring festival in Christian observances. It makes much more sense to celebrate a real Seder for the Last Supper. If it's "for the kids," I don't think infantilizing religion is a good idea, although it does explain the appalling lack of theological understanding expressed by many adherents (especially the more politically active ones).
I did buy a half dozen Cadbury Creme Eggs to share around.
