Had I had my children earlier in life, with a different spouse and in a different religion, they would not have been the kids right in the thick of the easter egg hunt or sitting on Santa's lap -they would have been the kids that other kids made fun of and the kids who were left out of the majority of holiday celebrations.
While I did not have those children, I feel for those children - and for their parents.
I'm big enough to want my kids to share their holiday parties and their social situations with all of their fellow Americans - and if it means that I can help them do so by calling Easter Eggs by another name and by saying "Happy Holidays," instead of "Merry Christmas," then I don't have a problem doing so.

You know what would be even better than 'egg hunt'? Easter Egg hunt, after all thats how it started, thats why kids are out there looking for the eggs in the first place.
