    Where does Easter rank amongst overrated holidays?
    I would say third behind Valentine's day and Kwanzaa.

    I'll never see it as overrated. If anything, I question why I get a paid day off for Columbus Day, but not Good Friday.

          Don't fool yourself, Easter is a Jewish holiday. That's why the date changes every year.

              Underrated, 2 week max lead in with stores, ham is awesome, cheap candy on Monday, unofficial start of Spring. If you have an Italian family even better, full Italian meal before the Easter Dinner.

                    It’s actually not a holiday but rather a Holy day.

                      just another woman's holiday. just an excuse to get the family over who mostly can't stand each other to pay attention to her since her aging husband has tuned her out. valentine's day, easter, mother's day, christmas are the big 4 that they use for this purpose

                          That's up to your company. I worked at a place where it was paid off and others
                          where we could leave early. It is a holiday in some states.

                          To those whom "Easter" (Pasqua) means nothing, that's their problem...

                              Jews have so many holidays every year it's a damn joke.. Muslims have a bunch too... We Christians and Catholics basically have 2, Christmas and Easter...

                                It amazes me how many people put down Easter, Jesus, etc because they don't believe in God and its treated as cool, but if someone dares to question mo ham med or islum then they are racists, narrow-minded, sexist, bigotted and so on and so on

                                            i thought it was supposed to be a holy day then. what percentage of families who are dragged over to some relatives house to celebrate this nonsense even discuss the alleged religious aspect of it at the dinner table. guaranteed yankee and met fans and bettors can't wait for the easter sunday dinner to be consumed so they can at least make the 2nd inning in the parlor and hope to get out of any discussion about their lives, jobs, children with their 45-65 year old parents. then look at their smart phones thinking about 3:45 will be a good time to bail out of there with some flimsy excuse. when getting into the car sighing and say thank christ that's over.

                                                  Jesus’s last words were “hide the eggs”

                                                  Easter is fun. Should get a day off work though

                                                                  but the opening thurs/fri of March madness is my personal favorite holiday
