Easter....It's that time again.

So it's almost here Easter.. The celabration of all things chocolate and egg shaped....No wait have I missed the point some where?
This time holds a double edged sword for me at times, well times when I have a girlfriend anyway. If I've got a girlfriend around Easter we always end up having the same conversation.
Me: Would you mind if I didn't get you an Easter egg?
(A slightly confused and hurt look comes across her face)
Girl: What? Why wouldn't you want to get me an egg?
Me: Well it's a little bit disrespectful isn't it.
(More confused looks and a not so hurt but angry expression.)
Girl: Why is buying me an Easter egg disrespectful?
Me: Well we're kind taking this very important Christian festival and using it as an excuse to buy each other egg shaped confectionery.

At this point she usually starts to well up.
Girl: Well if you don't think I'm worth buying a fucking Easter egg for you coulda just said.

and then she storms out. Now it's not always like that but you get the idea.
It just seems that even if your a non Christian you can't get away from taking part in their celebrations.
"Your not buying any Easter eggs this year!! What's wrong with you"
"I'm not Christian"
"What has that got to do with it.."

That seems to me to be the attitude of many people nowadays. I feel a little sorry for real Christians who have seen the celebration of the resurrection of their Lord Jesus Christ boiled down to some thing completely and utterly unrecognizable from it's origins. You get shot for mentioning Jesus or a cross or resurrection in the same sentence as Easter now.
Shops can't use any religious imagery to promote goods of a supposed religious holiday.
The whole thing is very messed up and I think the US and the UK are the worst offenders.
