My Mum and I were talking about this (my mum and I have some interesting random conversations). Someone that we both know posted a post on Facebook that said “Happy Easter”…but is it really?
Easter Friday, especially since it’s the day that they put Jesus on the cross? Hence, why we have delicious hot cross buns…Sorry, I can’t help it, I love hot cross buns.
We were talking about how it’s interesting how some people will say Happy Easter or Happy Anzac Day or how some get really offended by the term “Happy Holidays”. Usually the same people that say Happy Easter are the ones usually offended by Happy Holidays.
When do you think it’s appropriate to say “Happy…”?
It is an interesting concept.

Personally, I think everyday is a good day to wish anyone anywhere a Happy something or other. I’m not Jewish, but if someone wishes me a Happy Hannukah, I’ll say “Thanks.” I never understood why people get offended over good tidings. I’m grateful someone took the time to say something nice to me. That’s my thought anyway.

And as for Easter, I think it’s fine to say Happy Easter. We’re celebrating the fact that Jesus died for us sins, not his actual crucifixion. Again, just my thought.
