Unhappy Holidays

Easter has been very early in the past and the schools have still had the two weeks' holiday at the right time. Be warned: they are planning to do to Easter what they did to Whit. Most people still think that Wilsontide is in fact Whitsuntide. If a four-day long weekend were established instead of Easter at some fixed point in the spring, then most people would think that it really was Easter. But it wouldn't be. And then what? Christmas?
