How about Easter? I figure that's the best one of all! Without
Christ's resurrection there is no saving grace through the cleansing of
his blood and we are still under the OT law... I always think Easter
gets second - or worse - fiddle to Christmas, but I think it should be
the other way around. Without Easter, Christmas is meaningless, in
fact. Without Easter Jesus becomes just another good guy martyr.

And I'm with you on Thanksgiving, good point.
