On a day like this, I can believe that I will not fail my psych final, and that I’m going to find affordable summer housing, for which the rent will inevitably be paid by my job as a waitress in some swanky midtown restaurant instead of mooching off of my parents.
What’s the special occasion? There isn’t one. Well, besides the fact that it’s beautiful outside.
Granted, for some of you, it might be your birthday. (Happy birthday Claire!) And for others, it’s Easter. (Happy re-birthday Jesus!)
Which brings me to the point of this post. I love non-denominational holidays.
I love that, despite being a born-again Atheist, I can still enjoy Easter and Christmas if I want to.
And most of all, I love that as Columbians, we encourage everyone to participate in celebrations and traditions even though we might not be of the same faith. Take Holi, or Chinese New Year, or Matsura, and yes, even Easter. I love that every holiday here is non-denominational.
