Happy Holiday, Sinners.

Happy Easter kids.

Traditionally when I was working in the Hospitality industry, this was one of my busiest times. But now I’m a White Collar Slave I get four days off in a row. A 96 hour escape from both work and British Transport - I’m pleased as punch.

So today is Good Friday. It was on this day a few thousand years ago that Jesus was crucified. The Son of God came out with some groovy ideas to help humanity, and was slaughtered for his troubles. As far as Fridays in History go, this was not one of the better ones. "Good" was always a peculiar choice of Adjective.

We get a four day long weekend (known as a Bank Holiday in these parts) because though he died on Friday, Jesus rose again three days later (known as "Not Bad Monday" in the Bible). Unfortunately, that’s as far as my knowledge of Theology extends. I know he rose from the grave, but I have no idea what happened next. Was he crucified again? Did he live out his years as a Carpenter? Did he kick Judas in the nuts? Maybe we will never know for sure.

But I do know we have a holiday now, a time to spend with friends and family. Let’s rejoice this occasion with Chocolate Eggs, Giant Rabbit suits, and other sacrilegious pandemonium that will guarantee us a place in Hell.

Peace.
