I just got this in a marketing e-mail, and it makes me sick.

Consumers to spend $14 billion for Easter.
According to the National Retail Federation’s 2007 Easter Consumer Intentions and Actions Survey, 79.5% of shoppers are planning to celebrate Easter and are expected to spend an average of $135.07, up 11% from last year’s $121.72 per person. Total holiday spending is estimated to reach $14.37 billion.

Is this what Easter is all about? Babylon!
