Title: Happy Easter Everyone!
Post by: Joe on April 16, 2006, 08:49:10 AM
Except for iago and Blaze, who have to wait until tomorrow. Haha.

My savior lives, my savior loves, my savior's always there for me. My God he was, my God he is, my God he's always gonna be! Er, random song.

Anyhow, what are you guys doing today? I starting off my day by typing this message sitting in a wheelchair (no joke) because they're really fun. Then I'm going to go to church (duh, it's Sunday!). Then I'll call my parents, get a ride, and probably go straight to my grandma's house. Even if we don't go straight there, which wouldn't make any sense not to, we're going there and eating food and stuff. My uncle and his girlfriend are going to be there, which means their adorable baby daughter (yay, my cousin rocks!) is going to be there. My aunt and (other) uncle are going to be there too, which means THEIR adorable baby daughter (yay, my cousin rocks!) is going to be there. And my (other) aunt and (yet another) uncle are going to be there too, which means their son and daughter will be there too, but they're 14 (nearly 15, I'll need to remember not to drive when Abbey has her mom's keys, youch) and 11, so I'll refrain from calling them adorable. We'll do stuff like talk, and then eventually come home. I'll see what the neighbor people are doing, and maybe go over there and play some kinetic (http://www.x86labs.org:81/forum/index.php/topic,5580.msg65344.html#msg65344)!

Waiting for the neighbors to call (they drive me to church, and usually home if I were coming home). So yeah, bye!

Cleaning because my whole family is lazy (my oldest sister is still asleep).  My grandparents and uncles/aunts, and cousins are coming at about 12.  Must go...clean more.

Ew. I saw on a calendar "Easter (Canada)" on Monday. Oh well.

Some people call tomorrow "Easter Monday", and goverment employees who don't work weekends get it off in lieu of Sunday, but Easter is generally celebrated Sunday.  I mean, from the religious perspective, would it make any sense to celebrate it on different days?

Perhaps it took an extra day for the good news to reach the Christians of Canada?

(Before anyone tells me that Christianity was exclusive in Israel / Judea / Galilee in the first century, I know.)

Canada takes Easter as a Federal Holiday.  US does not.

No school friday.  No school Monday.  Easter is one of the greatest holidays, but for the worst reasons (and the best, in my view!).

Yes, Joe, Jesus moved his rebirth day to monday in Canada.   :-\

That's because every Sunday is a Federal holiday in the US.

Easter Sunday counts as a federal holiday here.  But government employees have to get a holiday, so if they're already off (like Easter Sunday), the holiday gets bumped ahead (to Monday). 

All through school we never got Monday off.  I even have an exam today!
