Because Fb Easter bragging posts are giving me the rage?

Aarghhh!!! "All ready for my babies in the morning" with picture of ridiculously huge pile of chocolate, sweets, TOYS (WTF? It's not Christmas!), CLOTHES, Easter trees, bunnies and fluffy chicks. I have oodles of these nauseating posts on my Fb feed tonight. AIBU to think Easter is letting your kids eat chocolate for breakfast and that's it? What the heck is WRONG with people?

I live in Scotland. The church banned christmas and easter for 400 years

Gosh, I did not know that! Explains the hugeness of hogmanay.

Got a few idiots on my Facebook who want to post gloating photos but it makes me laugh because I just think....is that all? I have chocolate (bought from lots of relatives) in my house to last two years but I don't feel the need to post it all over Facebook. I think most of my Facebook friends have realised it isn't really the done thing anymore to post your fake business on Facebook!

Y probably ABU but then it would drive me bonkers too. I really hate that side of fb which is the main reason I've deactivated my account for the moment. I'm just not in the right place mentally to let these gloaty, hey hey look at me, type statuses get me riled. I kind of think, if you are doing it to thank the people who've bought your children chocolate etc, then send them a text or ring them. Your entire friends list doesn't need to know. And as for people who wish their young children happy birthday on fb, well they need a slap! 😡

I did an Easter egg hunt in the garden, I used cut out card eggs. Lots of fun. We went out for the day yesterday for an Easter trail. They got a few small chocolate eggs and Easter themed biscuits. On Sunday I did a nice roast lunch. I didn't document it all on Fb!
