Happy Easter?

Today is Good Friday. Most shops are closed till next Tue. Just like CNY period back home.
What do people think of this Good Friday and Easter holidays? Parties with bunnies, eggs and chocolates. We went to the supermarket last night and everyone in the queue, and I mean everyone, was holding either boxes of chocolates, bunnies or eggs. Except the 2 of us lah.
No one seemed to care about the true meaning of Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Everything has been commercialised into a season of long break from work, getting drunk in parties and spending loads of money on chocolate eggs and bunnies.
Even churches here are taking breaks during this period and going on retreats, camps etc. So different from the "atmosphere" back home, where services will be held to share with pre-believers on the significance of Good Friday.
How will people know when they do not see, do not hear and do not care about what really happened?
