Couple sitting on the bus with an Easter egg they're giving to "our Dexter" and they have to write on the label. The husband asks his wife when to give it to him. She says she doesn't know but it's early this year she thinks it's March and "it's the one that changes every year".

AIBU to think everyone should know when it is if only for the opportunity to scoff chocolate eggs? I was obsessed with Easter immediately New Year was over!

I hope they don't get the munchies and it lasts for the next 10 weeks!

I only knew when we had school aged children because of the school holidays.

It can range from March 22nd to April 25th, so it's a pretty broad range. Sunday after the first full moon following the verbal equinox, I think.

But not necessarily the real full moon, the ecclesiastical full moon. Which can be different because, well, some arcane rules.

I've said YABU. Lots of people have their eye on easter as the next big school holiday (depends if you holiday in the Feb half term). But unless you are religious or fitting in to school holidays then you wouldn't be too alert to when easter is

She's right it moves around every year.

The bigger question is why are they are writing on gift labels on easter eggs on the bus in January.

Pancake Tuesday sneaks up on me every year, when I’ve run out of either eggs, flour or milk. Then I know when Easter is - up to then it’s too far away to think about.

I don't know when Easter is this year.
I could look at a calendar but I know it's not going to be in the next 6 weeks or so so I am not thinking about it yet.
