I kinda think its overdone, myself. Too much spectacle and not enough quiet contemplation. And really, Easter should be the premier Christian holiday since it marks the most important aspect of the religion.

Yes, the Pagan day of the worship of the fertility goddess Eostre is the day Christians should celebrate more closely by using the fertility symbols of eggs and rabbits.
