Haha. I guess if you’re Christian you are accustomed to schedules revolving around your holidays. K-12 holidays always revolve around Easter and Christmas. Our public school district was always closed on Good Friday too. For those of us who are a minority religion, we’re used to living with other groups’ schedules. My kids have never been home for Rosh Hashanah or Passover. My Indian friends never are off on Diwali. But we’re always off Christmas week! I’m not complaining at all. I completely understand that we have to live within the dominant culture. I’m just chuckling at your mild annoyance about Easter.

Happy Easter, by the way!
