Happy Holidays Yall
A belated Happy Easter. I am always interested how a holiday of such spiritual and religous siginificance like Easter seems to seemlessly allow for such a secular or commercialized aspect. For example, how Peeps can be associated with the day marking the rising of our Lord Jesus Christ is beyond me. I guess it has also been a holiday for some to mark the upcoming Spring, though it's hard to believe that when it snowed all weekend up here in Minnesota.
Either way, the Pagan Peeps may have to get a holiday of their own. The St. Paul Pioneer Press now has an annual Peeps Diorama Contest. The winner gets a toothbrush for a trophy.
Click here for pictures and the story. There's a Peeps Goodnight Moon, Peeps Gulliver's Travels and Peeps doing yoga, to name a few. Very clever.

They totally ripped off the Wash Post's contest. They've been doing this since 2003. Here are the ones from '07. (it says first-ever, but I think prior to '07 it was just an online thing...)

The P. Press ones are good too. Nice to see some local efforts.
Well according to the story, the Washington Post ripped the PiPress off.
But the idea seems to have taken hold at the Washington Post, and the Chicago Tribune has jumped on the bandwagon, too. Maybe we should call ours the Original Pioneer Press Peeps Diorama Contest.
