Easter is my new favorite holiday

4th of July. LAME. Christmas  has become more about tradition than the birth of Christ.
Easter is the real winner in my eyes:

1) Spiritually, you cannot beat this. As a Christian, Easter basically sums it all up. Celebrating and remembering not only Christ’s death on a cross as a sacrifice for the sins of his followers, but his conquering of death by resurrection… GAME ON. The importance of this cannot be overstated.

2) Warm weather. Easter is usually during the start of Spring.

3) Fridays off. At my current job, we get every-other-Friday off (we work an extra hour every day stop whining). But because we get Good Friday off of work, it means most people get three Fridays in a row off of work. MmmHmmm holla back boo!

4) During the season of lent, many Catholic and other Christians forego eating meat on Fridays. This may sound like a bad thing, but not for the frozen fish industry! Fish Stix baby baby!

5) Start of softball season.
6) Tank tops
7) Marshmellow peep battles in the microwave.
The one day of the year that men can wear a pink shirt to church and the big winner…
9) The one day of the year women can wear crazy hats to church. It’s like “hey we are all so happy it is Easter, everyone gets a free pass on what you wear today!”
10)People really bring it during worship on Easter too. No one really whoops it up on Christmas, but people go carazy on Easter.
