I
haven't unwrapped my selection of new calendars yet (as I write this, it's only
New Year's Eve), yet my daughter has reported she saw Mini Eggs in Asda on
Friday 27th December.
Then,
as I stood in the queue at WH Smith's yesterday, I spotted Crème Eggs and
Malteaster bunnies nestling by the till.
To
be honest, I couldn't quite believe it.
In
my mind, at least, Christmas 2013 hasn't yet finished, and here we were with
the next consumer onslaught.
Just
in case you don't know, I've been told that Easter Sunday is 20th April - which
is in fact quite late.
So
why we need 16 weeks to purchase our chocolate eggs and other seasonal
confectionery and cakes is a bit of a mystery.
What's
next? Hallowe'en stuff on the shelves in
June and the 'Back to School' range available in May?!
