Actually I see it as the opposite. Seems like a family holiday centered around making sure all the kids are having a good time.

That's a weird way to look at it. Easter is all about the kids. Hiding baskets, decorating eggs, getting candy/money/etc.

It's a Christianity thing, and old people tend more to be the ones who talk about the relationship between the holiday and Jesus, but I've always seen the commercial/easter bunny aspect of it as a kids' thing.

On one hand it's got this church aspect with Jesus which is inherently slanted towards older people, but then there's the whole egg painting/hunt/bunny side which is really kids focused.

Religion, in general, is an old people thing.

Nah, you can definitely get into the spirit of Halloween by yourself.

Should be noted that's got nothing to do with Easter, it's just capitalism taking over.

Capitalism always worms its way in so it can be a celebration about corporations by giving them money instead

Apparently Jesus tried to make the Last Supper more entertaining with party games where the Disciples had to find hidden eggs.

Easter gets its foundation IIRC from an old religious story where a guy fell in love with his mom and had a child. Somehow that ended up evolving into ancient Greek/Roman mythos (Aphrodite/Eros and Venus/Cupid) and eventually made its way into Catholicism and the rest of Christianity as the origin of Jesus and virgin birth of Mary. That's where the name Easter originates, from Eoestre, but the deity goes by different names as you go through different times and cultures.

Nowadays it's mostly just a money grabbing scheme, same with the rest of the festivities people celebrate year round. Rooted in evil and sadistic shit, but spun around and dressed up to make it kid friendly.
