Easter

Graham-at-work told me he much prefers Easter to Christmas. I hadn't ever thought about it before but now realise I agree with him.

- From a religious aspect it is the most important celebration. And it is celebrated around the time of year it actually happened.
- It is a four day holiday, so you have more time to visit friends and family. At Christmas it feels more like a rush to fit everyone in. Also Christmas tends to be booked up a few months in advance.
-Easter isn't so commercialised. I'm not worrying about how much money I've spent. Christmas is expensive and there is a lot of pressure to make it perfect.
-If you end up spending Easter Sunday by yourself it is no big deal. I bet the suicide rate is lower at Easter.

Talking of religion the Robbos met up with Ruthie and Alan for a meal last night. We had a heated but enjoyable debate about religion.
If you look here you'll have a flavour of what we were arguing about.

And, HOT CROSS BUNS.... the other reason why Easter is better than Christmas...!

Yes, the debate was very enjoyable, from a spectator's point of view ;o)
