Here's another interesting point: check the packages of Easter candy. The majority of it is KOSHER.

pure air, good neighbors, quality of life..we're a hearty bunch..have to be to get thru the winter..But until you've enjoyed a quiet sunrise or sunset with brilliant blue skies in between..or stretched out on the grass to watch the clouds float by..you might not appreciate it. And you can open your arms and stretch as far as you want without ever slapping someone in the face.....oh soooooooo many reasons, but since I'm only on my first coffee that's all you're getting...
Lisa most things are kosher I've found..or at least marked kosher...the Folgers Classic Roast and the International Delight Cream I use and just looked at has the kosher ID on it as well...
How would he know about the other 363 days of the year?
Maybe moose will explain.
I know I should not respond to this but, how does the health inspector know a resturent is clean after he walks out the door? It was mostly about the process. Jerry Lee
Good point. Never thought about it that way.

The point is: it's the IRONY of EASTER candy...EASTER...a Christian Celebration...think about it...thiiink about it....
Of course, I do wonder what the link is between the resurrection of the Savior and a hyperactive rabbit bearing gifts of Cadbury Creme Eggs. No one can seem to answer that one...
Oh well, just so long as he remembers to stop by my house every year, what does the rest of it really matter.
the gift of CHOCOLATE makes every thing ok....*LOL*

Found these answers (not sure if they are true or not though LOL)
"In the ecclesiastical calendar, Easter comes at the end of Lenten fast (supposedly in memory of the time Jesus spends in seclusion before his entry into Jerusalem at the beginning of the Easter story. therefore, Lent was traditionally (and for the orthodox and Catholic churches still) a period in which a devout follower "gives up" especially rich or animal foods for Lent such as eggs, milk, cheeses and certainly chocolate had it existed in medieval Europe. Mardi Gras (or fat Tuesday) was the last day of partying and feasting before Ash Wednesday the beginning of lent. Consequently on Easter all the rich foods that had been given up for Lent, were used to make special dishes and gifts. Orthodox Christians still follow this tradition giving up eggs and cream for lent, and on Easter making presents of rich Easter cakes. Chocolate as a luxury item, became associated with the gift-giving of the season. The reason for the eggs and rabbits was well -explained in the previous answer. Around this time of year, many chocolate companies run short blurbs on the actual history of chocolate eggs (in terms of marketing"
"Easter is the symbol for rebirth, spring etc. The eggs and the rabbits (bunnies), represent this. In some countries (in Germany for example), it is a tradition even today, that the people celebrate Eastern with colored eggs. There is a custom that in the second day of Eastern Holiday, they hide colored eggs in the garden, a rabbit also and let the children to seek for them. In time, this custom was substituted with chocolate eggs and bunnies. It's the same as plastic Christmas trees instead of the real ones."

Awesome. Now I don't feel guilty about what I just did to 'Bunny Big Ears'. Well, I never really DID feel guilty. I just said I did to save face.

I know what you mean, JuJu..When I was married, a long time ago, I used to have a house on lake erie, and how nice it was to sit on the beach and watch the sunrise or sunset, watch storms come in from Canada, etc.The winters were nice, just looking at frozen Lake Erie..Or watching the ships way out lit up at night.
