Some Will Passover Easter.

I remember back to when I was little and Easter meant baskets of sweet goodies that would destroy my teeth in a heartbeat! Ahhhh, I remember, and my dentist still reminds me as well with the handing over of the filling bill. My point is that there are no legitimate holidays, or Holy Days as they were intended, that aren't attributable to that huge greeting card company and the candy/flower industry. I don't begrudge them making a living but does it have to be so obvious? I mean you have Seattle area florists, San Antonio florists, and Boston florists who send orders to each other within networks to supply recipients with bouquets of pretty Easter Lillies and other spring flowers to usher in the new season. For the Jews it's a time of remembrance of when death passed by the doors of their ancestors in Egypt. Aside from traditional food items it's somewhat hard to push flowers, cards, and candy on that type of event. Not quite a marshmallow peep moment.
