Easter 2010

well i must say that this is probably the longest time i've had off in a while where i wasn't off somewhere on holiday and rushing around like a crazy chicken anyway...

this easter has been relaxing. i havent had much planned so i've just been able to veg out a lot, watch lots of tv or videos, catch up with ppl either via emails or some kind of IM and also catch up with ppl personally.

easter seems to have come around fast this year. actually the year seems to be just going so fast. i'm trying hard this year not to be cynical about things. it might be my imagination but usually on good friday the tv stations change programming and you'll have movies about the life of Jesus or movies with more Christian themes. with the advent of digital tv, these programs seem to have been relegated to stations like 7two or the like not the mainstream channels. makes me feel quite sad.
at the same time all i can see around me is people talking about bunnies, chocolate eggs etc.

so i decided to google the origin of easter... well actually it started with the origin of the easter bunny [which i'm still a bit confused about]. as with Christmas, a pagan festival time has been made into a 'Christian' holiday. i did decide on friday to stop being cynical and just remember and dedicate myself to reflecting on the real reason i celebrate easter which is Jesus!
