Easter is a moveable feast, meaning it is not fixed in relation to the civil calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established the date of Easter as the first Sunday after the full moon (the Paschal Full Moon) following the northern hemisphere’s vernal equinox.[3] Ecclesiastically, the equinox is reckoned to be on March 21 (even though the equinox occurs, astronomically speaking, on March 20 in most years), and the “Full Moon” is not necessarily the astronomically correct date. The date of Easter therefore varies between March 22 and April 25. Eastern Christianity bases its calculations on the Julian Calendar whose March 21 corresponds, during the 21st century, to April 3 in the Gregorian Calendar, in which calendar their celebration of Easter therefore varies between April 4 and May 8.
I experienced an extended power outage in Kansas City as a result of an ice storm. in my case it was 5 days with no power, heat, hot water. I got power back faster than most other people — up to 2 weeks. Can you imagine that being the worst physical discomfort to experience in life?
But generally speaking, as Americans we have never had to experience such hardship. 9-11 was a horror, but what these people are living through is unbelievable. It is a war, worse than a war….
Asshat! Xmas day doesn’t change. Plus, I remember it cause I get presents that day.

I hate to reveal my age, but I waited on line when OPEC decided to punish us for supplying Israel during the Yom Kippur War. For hours. Yeah, Americans waited on line. They cursed out OPEC and one another but they waited.
