What Is Easter?

A brunette, a redhead and a blonde were all in a terrible car accident, and all died tragically. At the gates of Heaven, they were met by St. Peter, who said to them: 

"Ok, I'll ask you each one question, and if you answer correctly, you may enter the gates of Heaven." 

First, he asked the brunette: "What is Easter?" 

She answered: "Oh, it's when people get a big tree and decorate it and exchange gifts!" 

"No." St. Peter answered, rather disappointed. 

Next, he asked the redhead: "What is Easter?" 

"Oh, it's when people get all dressed-up and go door to door 'trick or treating'!" She answered. 

St. Peter sighed, "No." By this time, he was very discouraged, and when he saw that the blonde was the only one left, he was positive she wouldn't know, but he asked anyway: 

"What is Easter?" 

Confident, she began: "It is a celebration of the man who died on the cross after going up a large hill, carrying his cross, and stumbling three times..."

"You're right!" St. Peter was overjoyed, but the blonde continued: 

"And when he finally died they laid him in a tomb..." 

"No, no, that's quite enough, dear, you are correct!" St. Peter exclaimed happily, but the blonde persisted: 

"And every year, he comes out of his tomb, and if he sees his shadow, we have six more weeks of winter."
