Easter Is in the Details?
By Christa TerryI am consistantly surprised at how many Easter decorations I’ve seen in recent years. Back in my day — if I may be allowed the luxury of playing at being old — people hung decorations for Christmas and Halloween and that was about it. You’d see the occasional Hanukkah decoration, but they weren’t at all common, and there were very, very few outdoor Easter decorations, if any, hung on neighborhood homes.
That meant no lights…
No Easter flags…
And certainly no inflatable bunnies on choppers… I mean, really? An inflatable Easter bunny riding a motorcycle? So you tell me:

The only decorations we put up were at my Grandparents’ house. We hung tacky plastic eggs on strings from the little dogwood tree in the front yard. It was really more of a game for us kids than for the sake of decoration. We never had egg hunts, so I suppose this was a surrogate for that.

I am impressed with the marketing divisions of the companies that make these decorations that they have convinced people to spend their hard-earned money on this stuff and that’s all I have to say.
