Er...yes it is.

Which was stolen from the Pagan’s festival celebrating the spring equinox. So no, I don’t recognise it as Christian

Yep...they didnt even really change the name...ha. why are people so offended over Easter decorations?

I didn't know this was a thing, never met anyone who put Easter decs up.
It's up to the individual though, if they want to it's up to them, they aren't hurting anyone.

To ‘celebrate’ prior to Easter Sunday is to show a very limited understanding of that which you claim to be celebrating.

No, trust me - after an Irish Catholic childhood, I am considerably Christianer than yeow.

In our house the Easter holiday is known as the Chocolate Holiday and has been referred to as that since DC’s were old enough to understand. The house looks decorated on Easter Sunday by the number of colourful Easter egg boxes!

Easter undoubtedly followed on from more ancient festivals but that doesn’t mean they are anything but Christian now

Followed on. Implying natural? Anything but natural. The founders of your religion were thieving, torturous bastards. But yay, we can all forget about that now, right?

Hmm
