That Easter Morn

Four years ago, Easter was the last Sunday of March. This year, it is the second Sunday of April. Why? Why does Easter change every year? There is no consistency, except for the fact that Easter is celebrated on Sunday. Most holidays are either celebrated on their specified date or a day of the week close to the specified date (i.e. Dr. King's birthday is always observed a few days around if not on his actual birthday) or at least in a given month (i.e. Father's Day is always a few weeks into June). Or is there more consistency to when Easter is observed? Is there something else I have overlooked?

In any case, this will be far from the traditional Easter I am used to spending. Rather than dinner and a viewing of The Ten Commandments, I will be out preparing for the first night of tech week. It's funny how things work.

I didn't buy any peeps this year. Shame on me. Maybe there will be some major Easter candy sales tomorrow. I think it would be wonderful if peeps came in every color, like jellybeans. I mean, why aren't they made in orange? Orange peeps would sell like hot cakes. At least, I'd be sure to fill my inventory with them.


Do you know what else would be wonderful? A store that sells seasonal candy year round. I remember a mention of that on one episode of Law and Order: SVU, and wondered if it is truly a reality. I'm sure there must be one somewhere. If not, well, I suppose I can wait until next March for my peeps. Or next April. Or whenever Easter will be.
