When did Easter become Christmas 2:Electric Boogaloo?

Posted by Cuzzin Todd (aka cuzzintodd) Apr 8 '12, 08:42

Have seen a few pics on FB so far from people and their kiddies, looks like Christmas morning... minus the tree.

It's like we've lost sight of what this holiday is really about: candy.

Chocolate and eggs people! Get back to basics. You young people today have no idea! -- nm - GregW Apr 8, 10:32 1
- I always got a small gift for Easter with my candy. - ty97 Apr 8, 10:36
It seems ramped up this year - I don't recall hearing about mall Easter bunnies last year. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 09:15 15
- There have always been mall Easter bunnies. It's the gifts that have ramped up. - Cuzzin Todd Apr 8, 09:23 12
  - Gifts? Why would kids get gifts? Chocolate rabbits, colored eggs, jelly beans and Peeps. It's all about candy not gifts. -- nm - Krusty Apr 8, 09:29 11
    - Disagreed. It has never been *all* about the candy and especially in this day-and-age of obesity I would prefer to see the candy downplayed further. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 8, 09:32 10
      - As far as what kids get on Easter, it's all about the candy. That's my point. - Krusty Apr 8, 09:36
      - It's not gifts instead of candy... it's gifts AND candy. Last couple weeks' Target ads - Cuzzin Todd Apr 8, 09:35 8
        
        No gifts, it's not the kids birthday or Christmas(his birthday...sort of). This is really the first I'm hearing about giving kids gifts on Easter. -- nm - Krusty Apr 8, 09:43 7
        
        I always got gifts. Stuffed animals, etc. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 10:00 6
        
        Stuffed bunnies is one thing but toys not associated with the holiday? I don't think I've seen that before. -- nm - Krusty Apr 8, 10:21
        
        ... and the stores have had those themed basket bundles for decades. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 10:01 4
        
        Yes... and everything fits in a basket... here's an example of what I've seen. - Cuzzin Todd Apr 8, 10:09 3
        
        Logan got 4 (small) baskets. - Spawn Apr 8, 10:17 2
        
        It seems you keep making my point for me. Candy, baskets and small toys. Not bikes and XBoxes. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 8, 10:21 1
        
        Ah, agreed. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 10:38
- There were mall Easter Bunnies when I was a kid. - Kim Pine Apr 8, 09:20 1
  - Maybe not in canadia though. Maybe we've corrupted canadia. -- nm - mara Apr 8, 09:29
