I see no reason to get my panties in a twist over a "Happy" anything. I try and respond in kind to whichever holiday greetings are being given to me. Jewish, Pagan, Christian, whatever. It is a kind thought from the person. Just as when someone says "God bless," or "Goddess bless." It is crass, in my opinion, to throw these back in the person's face. Oh, and I am polite to missionaries that show up at my door as well. THEY feel that they are doing something good. Who am I to argue?

I'll toss a 'you too' back at them. I don't mark the Christian celebration on purpose, and regard the overly long prayer before the dinner with my mother-in-law as the price of all the leftovers we'll bring home. I might see if we can pull off some sort of freaky fertility rite this afternoon, though. One hint for those who like to engage the missionaries is to ask them to tell you the origin of the word Easter. (Baptists will make up the most outrageous stories).

Lol, i think; Dammit, i missed another oppertunity to play with dye. (but that option wasn't listed) Right now, we're having thunderstorms, and i feel bad for all those little UMs. i'm personally ammused by the holiday, but i still like it because its so cute. One year i dyed eggs just because, then Master got the idea that He and i would sneak into a church yard and hid all 3 dozen eggs. We did. Fun Stuff!!!

well, I'm an agnostic, but don't have any problem with any religious holoday....well, other than the over-commercialism that seems to go with them.....I must have been wished happy easter by about a dozen people the past two days...my response? "You too", or I actually said "have a good easter". Didn't cost me a thing, and I did mean it. Now...where's my chocolate?????

LadyPact -> RE: Someone says Happy Easter to you, do you... (4/12/2009 11:53:05 AM)
I came back to read the happy thoughts of others and throw in a Happy Easter to those who wanted it.

DemonKia -> RE: Someone says Happy Easter to you, do you... (4/12/2009 12:30:44 PM)
As long as they don't get offended when I say, 'Happy Zombie-Jesus Day!' in return . .. . . lol

DesFIP -> RE: Someone says Happy Easter to you, do you... (4/12/2009 12:39:26 PM)
"Thank you, enjoy the weekend" is my usual response. But it's funny, half the post seder conversation was about rabbit recipes. We all agreed that despite reading recipes to the contrary, we aren't ever going to do southern fried rabbit. Sticking to braising here.

favesclava -> RE: Someone says Happy Easter to you, do you... (4/12/2009 2:08:17 PM)
i'm a pagan witch that works in a catholic based workplace. i wished everyone on my way out this morning a happy easter.i'm cooking for my immediate family who half are catholic, the other half pagan.

quote: ORIGINAL: beargonewild Sounds almost like the reaction I'll get when I wish someone a happy bunny day! Hehe, we call it the same here, Hasen Tag. A fun day for colouring eggs, eating chocolate and family.

Lashra -> RE: Someone says Happy Easter to you, do you... (4/14/2009 2:14:02 PM)
I just say Happy Holiday and leave it at that. I do not want to get into a religious discussion with someone because most likely our views would clash and I have better things to do with my time. ~Lashra

beargonewild -> RE: Someone says Happy Easter to you, do you... (4/14/2009 2:37:02 PM)
Chances are I wish them a happy Easter in return and then ask "where's my chocolate?"
