Man, what is it with foreigners and candy?? I mean - not like I'm complaining or anything - but think about it. You get dressed up for halloween, people give you candy. Christmas, some big fat guy in a suit brings you candy, plus there's all that cake and sweets you have at parties. You get chocolate for Valentine's day (some people... more than others....) -- and again for Easter?

Thinking about it.....

That's one big hit of candy every two months, for about... six months solid. That's like, half a year of candy!!! No wonder Americans are so fat, all they eat is sugar!



Buuuutttt it's almost time for hana-matsuri! Hey partner - we're doing something, right? I bet the parks won't be too crowded for a while yet, we should skip class sometime and take our lunch with us.

......... Ugh. No, thanks.

No?

Chocolate eggs?

Jellybeans?

Mini candies?

THERE'S A LOT TO CHOOSE FROM!

That's right.. nearly every two months. Excellent observation.

When you think about it, it's kind of creepy.

Easter isn't only American. In Finland, the dressing up and going door to door for candy is actually the Easter thing, Halloween is new.

...Hey, are you calling me fat, Finland?

Hi, America!! I didn't know you were here too!

[identity profile] therearecats.livejournal.com 2010-04-06 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
I just got here last night!

...Why do you dress up for Easter?

Oh the same reason as you, mimic the old jealous witches, go around asking for treats in return for blessing the house with branches.

[identity profile] therearecats.livejournal.com 2010-04-06 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Do you hit the house with the branches?

[identity profile] thousandlakes.livejournal.com 2010-04-06 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Some people do, I guess...

[identity profile] therearecats.livejournal.com 2010-04-06 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds like fun!

I'd be up for something.






I like candy.

Sweet! Need me to pick up anything from work?




I see..... so that's where my secret stash keeps going, huh?
