Seasonal Celebration Div (WTF subsection)

The other nite I was watching the teevee and saw an ad for Toys'R'Us advertising toys for Easter.
Huh ?? I thought Easter was the celebration of the execution of a seditious Hebrew carpenter  renewal of life and the promise of spiritual redemption. It's bad enough that the legend of the birth of baby Jesus has been turned into enormous retail orgy; now, we are turning the observance of the arrival of spring into a cross between the recognition of the Winter Solstice and Halloween !!!
Though the birthdate of the historical Jesus is subject to doubt, the place of his death in the astronomical calendar can be reasonably ascertained through the Jewish calendar and the celebration of Passover (though the calendrical date is subject to debate).
I know, I know, the Gospels say, and scripture says and Sister Mary Rebecca has he ruler ready if there's any questioning of the legitimacy of the whole fairy tale story. But do we need to indulge in yet another spectacle of toys, gifts and candy ???
If you puke after watching the video, I won't mind.
Time to send a message to the various temples of Mammon.
