How do I know? Because hot cross buns are now on sale!
Hmmm. I always associated hot cross buns with Easter... Was I wrong?
The problem starts with the fact that Easter is a celebration based on the
lunar calendar. Because of the difference in length of the lunar month (~28
days) and calendar months (28-31 days) the dates that hot cross buns are
prepared will gradually shift through the calendar year, and we have now
arrived at the situation where Easter comes just before Xmas. A strange
phenomenon where we celebrate the death of JC before he was born.
