[Oe List ...] Church service on Christmas Eve

[James Wiegel]

Apparently, if you go into King Soopers, the grocery chain here in the Denver area, there are packages of Cadbury's chocolate Easter eggs for sale along with the Christmas things.  I know this because Son Shanker's sister in law, Linda got the right answer of (maybe) why they may be there during the quiz show that was part of the sermon at church (c.  The store is starting early marketing Easter, and d.  They are both signs of the same thing -- that the babe in the manger is the one on the cross.)
