Good Friday is in 12 weeks – do we need to see these in the shops already?
Some might – I certainly don’t
They are there whether you like it or not
Are they really going to last that long?
Somehow I don’t think so
BUT
You do wonder what preservatives may have been used.

Oh, good grief! I have to agree with you there – I wouldn’t be buying them unless I was just going to eat them now… Sometimes, people just get carried away…

Hot cross buns. Probably plastic?

No, I don’t want to see these, just like I don’t want to see Christmas decorations the week before Halloween! The only way to combat the commercialization of the holidays is to NOT BUY these things. (Not that I have an opinion on the matter… 🙂

Considering Easter is a religious holiday you would think those that still practice their religion would be observing lent and I know in the greek religion we are supposed to fast for the six weeks before Easter so you can’t eat these. No use buying something you can’t eat. I wonder how they figured they should be sold now. Consumerism is now the major religion and as long as I can make a dollar I will. Don’t like it at all!

I saw some at Christmas in two stores just before Christmas. Do you think they are left from Christmas, or out too early? I saw a Wikipedia article that says they go on salt very early in a few places, Australia being the one of the countries mentioned. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_cross_bun. Too soon for me.

Our local Woolworths has put out the Easter Eggs as well. Sigh. Don’t want to see them, won’t buy them.

I know I saw the Valentine’s stuff right after Christmas. Wasn’t ready for that either.

One of our local supermarket has valentine chocolates out and Easter things out already. I know chocolate has gone up in price but really this early????

In spite of those of us with a ‘mature outlook on life’ not approving, they sell and sell very well and make people think about Easter eggs and buying them.

I never knew they were a part of a season of Easter traditions.

I saw Christmas stuff before Halloween. And Valentines was on shelf on Dec 26! Makes you want to stop “celebrating” holidays and turn into a Scrooge. Bah hum bug!

No, I don’t want to see them, any more than I want to see Christmas goods appearing in October, or Easter eggs popping up on the shelves as soon as Christmas is done with, but nobody asked us, did they?
And I often wonder what preservatives they use in these things. I do rather like hot cross buns though.
