(Vince at Welcome To My Truth Reports)--I usually don’t do much to celebrate Easter. I don’t go to Mass. I don’t hunt for eggs. I don’t reflect on the image of a crucified Jesus coming back from the dead to save my soul. Like most holidays, I usually spend Easter alone on the couch with my three remote controls and a plethora of viewing options.
But this year, I've decided to hop a plane to Washington D.C. and join the pastel merrinment on the White House lawn for the annual Easter Egg Roll.
Now before you get all up in arms and denounce me as a Bush-loving super Christian, let me explain. This year gay rights organizations are urging gays and lesbians to bring their children to partake in the patriotic fun of the religious holiday. In doing so, gay rights leaders are hoping to show the White House that these families are no different from the stuffy Republican families who will undoubtedly show up in droves.

Have fun Jay... break an egg.
Sounds to me like the perfect slice of Americana: Stuffy Republicans, mommies and daddies, daddies and daddies, mommies and mommies, little kids, easter eggs...
But on the subject of Easter more generally, I'm pretty much against holidays for which the primary focus is eating.
I can't wait to read your write-up on this one. Have fun!
That explains why you can't be with your family on Sunday.
Love MOM
