Thanks to mum for a couple of these, and I can't remember who for the rest of them.
*Edit - I hit the wrong button and published before I was done. See below for the rest of the post.
In a more serious vein, if you celebrate this day, I hope you have a blessed one - the gift for which Christians celebrate Easter is worth remembering, and one to which pagans are not strangers, either (the greatest difference being that Pagans had many sacrificial kings where Christians have one sacrificed King).
In the midst of the chocolate, the eggs, the ham or lamb or the wild tofurkey, think on the tremendous love that a heart must bear, for a man to give himself over to Jesus' fate. Think on that love as the foundation for what has grown into the church today - whatever I may think of Christianity and its dogma (and oh, boy, have I got some opinions about that), I haven't forgotten that the church is founded on the hope that the life of one man may be given over for the benefit of all men.
I wish you a blessed day, be it sacred to you or no.

I wish you a blessed day, too. I hope that it was grand.
And the pictures had me nearly in stitches.
This is why you should never read blogs while holding sharp implements!
I am blessed with some delightfully warped friends and family, aren't I?
The day is over for you, and nearly for me, but I hope it was very springlike and warm. It was that and then some, here!
Aaaah. Thanks for that! Those are fantastic.
