Starting Easter on Boxing Day

Easter in 2010 doesn’t fall until the first weekend in April, yet for some reason I’ve already had my first Cadbury’s Creme Egg of the year.

Not only that but I’ve seen Easter mugs, bunnies and all manor of chocolate based symbols of the dawn of Spring.

All this despite the Christmas decorations still being up around us and Slade being played on the radio.

We complain on an annual basis about how early Christmas crap starts appearing in the shops – the earliest sign for me was wrapping paper on sale in September.

But having Easter based eggs out on Boxing Day? That my friend is just taking the very sweet, egg shaped gooey desire a stretch to far.

Although to be honest – it’s never too early for a Creme Egg – just keep the bunnies locked up until March.

Now be nice to this sleep deprived grumpy old git in his 29th year or I’ll write a blog post about all the cool mantoys I got for Christmas from my wonderfully geeky wife.
