chocolatey principles

I can be a right complicated thing. I have these principles you see. Also principles regarding old pagan traditions that were hijacked by the christians. One of those is Easter.
The feast of fertility, of spring, of new life. Made up to be about the death and resurrection of a jewish boy some 2000 years ago.
But since the eggs are a symbol for spring, I feel it's ridiculous and stupid to eat them now. It's not easter yet. It's not even spring yet, not by far. Chocolate eggs are for AFTER Easter. Or at least, at the very very least, for after the 21st of March.
But I crave them...
I crave them so much.
I remember when I was first in the UK how every brand of chocolate had their own "easter basket" full of Mars eggs and Snickers eggs and whatever-you-want eggs and Pooh eggs, pokemon eggs, you name it, they had it. A trend I see coming overhere slowly.
Merlina and I were out shopping today (found lesbo film (not porn) for 7 euro) and there was chocolate everywhere. And I'm so in the mood for a cheap, bad tasting, thin chocolatey egg shaped thing.
*sighs*
Damn.
Only 6 weeks left to wait...
