I love chocolate. And the idea that I'm soon to be given a lot of it in the form of giant eggs excites me a bit too much. And the icing on the (chocolate) cake is that this chocolate, in all its rounded glory...is free!
However, in amongst the calorie guilt, I also feel slightly uncomfortable celebrating a religious holiday that I don't have the slighest clue about.
Was there a cave? And a rock? Or was that lent? I mean, the only reason I'm slightly in the know about Christmas is because the years of nativity plays of being a sheep (or a goat in the modern vesion) has cemented the story in my mind.
Isn't it wierd that so few people are Christians, yet we all celebrate Easter? What exactly is it that we're celebrating?
We get two weeks education-free, we exchange 'happy easter's, and for what? What was it that happened this time four million years ago? See, I'm really not trying to be funny there, either, I really am oblivious to how long ago this easter malarky happened? Does AD stand for 'Ahhhh... dunno'?
It's kind of like being teetotal at a nightclub, isn't it? I wish I could eat my chocolate and think 'Yes, come on chocolate! Well done Jesus for moving that rock!'
I feel a lot more comfortable celebrating April fool's day, even if it means I have to urinate on cling film one a year.
