Up in NorCal we're getting the rain, but it's a warm rain (in the 50s), which means the snow elevation is still really, really high (like 8000+ feet, or some such). The rain is good, but to turn it into snowpack, which is a big part of our water supply for the year, we really need colder weather. Sigh.

The rain is getting to Tahoe / the Sierra in NorCal, but it's too warm to create snow for most of it. We do have some reservoirs that benefit from the rain, but snowpack would be much better.

Wait, you celebrate Christmas, but not Easter?

Make up your mind.

It's more jolly fat man than baby in a manger at this point...

Easter screws with kids' minds. 

Jesus came back to life!  Go look for some eggs.  I guess a bunny hid them.  Dress nicely.  We won't be back to church until Christmas.

None of this makes sense.

The Easter Bunny isn't exactly Biblical either. Nor the Easter eggs.

Both have secular versions of the holiday, where the religious aspects can be excluded.

Well, the early Christians coopted a number of pagan holidays. I wouldn't call the Easter Bunny a non-religious aspect... It's just from another [earlier] religion. And Christmas coopted the pagan holiday of Yule, which celebrated the birth of the Sun God Invictus, and conveniently ended in a celebration where gifts were exchanged on--you guessed it--December 25th.

Not that I'm a Pagan either, of course...

Yes, one was a solstice celebration, the other a fertility holiday. Both can be celebrated by the modern "non-believer" without any mention of Christianity, Santa for Christmas, and the Easter Bunny for Easter. Yet you celebrate one, and not the other. Just curious how that came to be. Coin flip?

Christmas is simply a much bigger holiday in American culture. So even though I've thrown off the trappings of belief (BTW I was raised in a Christian house, so it's not like all this is new to me), for cultural reasons as well as for the kids, to not celebrate Christmas would just seem weird and Scrooge-y. 

Easter is a very important holiday for Christianity, but it's also just one day, it's not the same day every year, there are rarely "Easter decorations" and "Easter cookie exchanges" and it's not considered part of the "holiday season". It just doesn't seem important enough to make any sort of a big deal over. So we don't.

(FWIW, on years we have the kids on Easter, we usually do a little something. Which is just making them an Easter basket with some candy and then going a little more extravagant on our dinner plans. But based on custody schedule, it seems we've gotten lucky and avoided Easter over the last several years so we didn't bother.)

And then there's the real answer... My [non-religious] wife likes celebrating Christmas, and doesn't care either way about Easter. So we do what she wants. Happy wife, happy life.
