Hope-filled or sugar-coated, how do you like your Easters?

There can be little doubt that for many (most?) Easter is means little more than chocolate eggs, bunnies and chicks (a rather bizarre mix really). Admittedly I'm not the most lapidocentric (it is a word! honest!) person I prefer to remember that at Easter we celebrate the fact that...

Goodness is stronger than evil,
Love is stronger than hate,
Life is stronger than death,
Light is stronger than darkness!

And we all get the chance to claim this victory for ourselves!

Rather than the appealing yet fleeting, sweet yet empty, easily shattered sugar-coated variety I prefer my Easters hope-filled.
