Also, Easter to a large extent. Easter used to be a bigger deal than Christmas. But the commercialization of Christmas has caused it to overshadow Easter. Now Easter is all about rabbits and ducks and eggs and candy and baskets and that green fake grass and pastel colors and etc. It is even farther removed from celebrating the atonement of Christ than Christmas is of celebrating his birth. Even for Christians. I asked a friend why he thought that was and his response is Christmas has a baby, animals, angels singing, shepherds, stars, and all sorts of cute child friendly stuff. Easter has blood coming from every pore, false trials, mocking and scourging, crucifixion, etc. Not exactly cute and child friendly. All the Easter secular stuff (candy and cute animals) could be seen as an attempt to make Easter palatable and fun like Christmas.
