We're having Easter Dinner tonight.  Everyone is too busy later this month.

I am not sure, but I think it is in March every few years or so? I am not a religious person, but I think it has something to do with the full moon?

Easter and a full moon.....? Isn't it to do with the resurrection of Jesus Christ?

  Well, I know it has NOTHING to do with fluffy bunnies and eggs.

Van's correct, it's due to the lunar cycle.
the dates are all weird, jesus wasn't born in december for example. They were all moved around to fit pagan days so you could convert the pagans! woot. lol

they planners though forgot that we'd create this idea called commertgwpdm. So I think that plan of moving religious dates to coincide with pagan festivals, backfired.
santa claus, easter bunny, halloween. lol

 hahaha
here comes a roswell reference
Isabel: Hi, everyone. Welcome to this year's holiday pageant. I'm Isabel Evans. Some of you know me as the director of this pageant, others may know me as the president of the hunger drive, and still others might know me from the many holiday events at the nursing home, and some of you know me as...the Christmas Nazi. (she glances accusingly at Max and Michael) But enough about me. Let's feast our eyes on the cutest darn kids in America. Welcome to Roswell's 23rd annual holiday pageant.



(basically she goes around the whole christmas episode doing community events, tree has to a certain height according to her diagrams, decorations have to be perfect etc.)
