Oh, is it Easter?

It has always amazed me how little fuss is made over Easter here. It's bewildering that, with such a God-bothering population as this one, what is ostensibly the single most important event in the narrative that structures their entire belief system goes largely unremarked. For the most part schools and businesses stay open, the TV isn't plastered with Easter specials and promotions, and the one aspect of it that everyone can relate to is a seasonal synthetic foodstuff called Peeps. I learn from boingboing that Peeps are not only flame-retardant, but there is now such a thing as a Peep Show.



The chocolate rabbits up top are from an old friend in Hong Kong who, as I recall, was partial to a Peep herself.
