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.

You know, as a bit of an agnostic, I am all in favour of this
rationalisation. Let's get it all done in one day, that's what I say.

Oh no, and miss all that time off!

Ahem. Surely an agnostic shouldn't want any of it, at any time, at all.
Or does agnostic require a hedging of at least one bet? ;-)
