Is it that time again? Was I supposed to give aomething up already? That resolution to get to church more often is going down the pooper.

Sounds like a plan. You can have it all with that one. I'm going to reccommend that to my friends who observe it.

So that's why the Cadbury eggs are out before Valentines Day. Like I need any more chocolate right now!

Ha ha ha. I always wondered if that were an option. Like "I give up meat" if you're a vegetarian. "I give up beer" if you're allergic to hops. That kind of stuff. But not being Catholic, I never knew. Now I do. Thanks. :)

According to one husband, we can give up religion and STILL be stuck with holidays!

This from the famously non-religious WaWa who must still celebrate Christmas but only if his wife buys, wraps, and mails gifts and then does all of the stockings and thank you notes.

So keep the religion and toss the holidays!

I think this plan may work....

With proper planning, you can make the most of all the holidays.
1/1: You make a New Year's resolution (something that you obviously don't like to do or you would have already). Ex: exercising
2/14: You look great for your valentine b/c you've been resolute and this makes up for the chocolate of which you are about to partake.
3/17(or 3/19 if you prefer St Joe): drink lots of beer and begin to suspect you are slacking.
Lent: give up exercising entirely (40 days for starters)
Easter: break lent by exercising while you run around hunting for eggs and stuffing your face with chocolate bunnies.
Mother's Day: Bask in the undeserved patronising comments about how good you look.
4th of July: wear something to the picnic that "flatters your curves" instead of that cute little outfit you'd planned.
Halloween: Go as the cartoon character Kathy
Thanksgiving: Give thanks for diet pills
Christmas: Ask Santa for a treadmill.
New Year's: resolve, again, to exercise more.

LOL, that's a good idea, then we won't have to celebrate Easter... with all those to die for Chocolate egs and the Hot Cross Buns...drool. Maybe not this year.

My favorite haiku ever. I work in a hospital with a chaplain, and when they are doling out smudges (and even delivering them), a smudgeless heathen like me stands out. Meh.

Ah yes, the fundamental value of any religion: self deprivation. I guess giving up religion for lent only counts if you're a fundamentalist.

THAT was awesome.

Growing up I always felt kinda bad Mormons don't "Do" Lent.
I suppose nothing is stopping me now, but then I'm sure I would feel like I should give up Diet Coke and THAT would not be pretty.

i'm jewish...we don't have to give up anything. usually...we eat...a lot!! no...i lied. we have to fast for a few hours, on yom kippur. but, i'm barely even jewish so...what do i know?!
good luck giving up religion for lent...that's kind of an oxymoron, though!

Great haiku. Possibly your most inspired work yet. (Must be the blasphemous undertone.)

BTW - since you complained once (and are now regretting that for the rest of your blogging life), I've tagged you for a meme.
