Peeps = my favorite easter candy ever

Of course, I don't like them stale... or poisoned *glares at Sirclucky* But I'd live on Peeps and Ramen if I had to.

And of course, you can't have a thread of people discussing Peeps without linking to this:

Some of the stuff on there is SO weird. These people need better hobbies.

Anyone wanna explain to me what Easter actually is? All I know is everyone gets candy and eggs and something about the Easter bunny

Easter is actually the day in the christian (or catholic? I'm both, so I forget which) religion where Jesus was resurrected. That was the whole point of Easter originally and religiously.

And now, just like Christmas and Santa Clause, they've given Easter the Easter Bunny.

It's sort of just like a mini Christmas, with a bit of Halloween mixed in. On Easter, most kids get an Easter basket filled with little gifts. There's also a lot of chocolate candy, many which are things only sold around easter. (Like chocolate eggs, and certain Peeps, and whatnot.)

^_^

The reason for the eggs and the bunny actually come from the integration of the Pagan holiday Ostara which is the solstice (Easter always falls the first Sunday after the first full moon after the solstice). They are symbols of fertility for us...I'm not quite sure WHY they've become a part of Easter though rofl

Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but at least that's what I've heard and been told...

You're right... I think... And I think it's like the whole Yule-log/Christmas tree or Maypole things...

Don't answer this if it's offensive, but are you Pagan? I was starting to think I was the only one here...

Yup, there's a strong community here. My grandma was Wiccan, so we still follow a lot of their beliefs. If I'm at home, my family and I celebrate all the Sabbats, but I'm at school and it's not wise to say something like that there, it's a bit... risky, ye know, with all the negative connatatoins of 'witch'. Still, Happy Ostara to all who follow it :hug:

I never even knew what peeps were before I read this. We do celebrate Easter here, but only for the Christians, and easter eggs and peeps are not the norm.
