MORE CROTON MEMORIES: A CROTON EASTER SEASON, 1950's

Welcome to EverythingCroton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON. 

MORE CROTON MEMORIES 2012: A CROTON EASTER SEASON, 1950’S

There once was a time when the Easter Bunny was not the “Spring Bunny”, when it wasn’t politically incorrect for the village to sponsor an Easter Egg Hunt, when Easter corsages were a fashion accessory, and you got them – and your Easter plants too – at Swanson’s Florist. Continuing our Croton Memories 2012 series, we bring you A CROTON EASTER SEASON, 1950’S, once again courtesy of THE CROTON ON HUDSON HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

  2. Speaking of being politically correct, we went to see the Dead Sea Scroll Exhibit at the Discovery Museum in NYC on Friday. The terms BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini = Latin for Year of the Lord) are now BCE (Before the Common Era) and CE (Common Era). Science now wants to redefine these terms to include Judaism, Christianity and Islam as the Common Era because all share the same Old Testament to some extent or other???? Can't wait for atheists to complain about this change also! It's no wonder kids are getting confused in school!

  4. I am SICK of all this holiday p.c. bull. It's a real pleasure to see holidays celebrated in the "old fashioned" way instead of being amalgamated into some sort of mish-mash.

  5. One more thing,I'm the first one to admit that change is inevitable, and that some changes are good, but others are ridiculous. Calling an Easter bunny,a spring bunny, calling Easter and Passover, a "celebration of spring" is crazy. I was infuriated when the village's Christmas tree lighting was called a "peace tree lighting".
