Easter time, mistletoe and wine


Do you know why Easter is so early this year? No?

I do you see and am therefore am going to pass on my incredible knowledge, lucky you.

The basics you need to know are:

1. Easter Day falls the Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring Equinox.

2. Spring Equinox falls on the 21st of March which is a Friday.

3. The first full moon after the Spring Equinox is going to appear on the 22nd of March which is a Saturday.

D. That makes Easter Day Sunday the 23rd of March.

It basically couldn't be any earlier, and in fact, Easter won't fall this early again for another 153 years. I can't wait.

And, whilst we are on the subject the latest Easter Day will ever be is the 23rd of April.

So, get your chocolate in early and stuff it in your big chops.
