Today's the day we celebrate all those special, seasonal chocolate treats, and give thanks to all those that contribute towards their production 


When I was little, I got sent to Church on Easter Sunday mornings.....(Mum and Dad had a lie in...Hypocrites...LOL)

Where I would sit and dream of Chocolate Eggs.

4/5. In China we basically commemorate our dead family members and even go out to visit them. Right as I am typing this someone is holding a funeral downstairs and it is assaulting my eardrums.

Is that a Chinese Christian festival of commemorating the dead....If not why do you do it at a coincidental time of year?

Not Christian. Traditional. Two separate cultures ended up on festivals on similar matters on similar dates.

Good morning China.


Maybe seasonal then.

Equinoxes and Solstices have long since been (Pagan) festivals.

Popular modern religions also have a tendency to cling to their Pagan heritage.
