      > “I just think it’s crazy that everything is so superficial and meaninglessly commercial… [there’s] something quite frantic about it,” he said.

      Says the person out shopping on Boxing Day…

      Yeah, I was pissed off about the chocolate oviods too. My anger was placated somewhat when I found out that it wasn’t compulsory to buy them, and that there were plenty of other shapes of chocolate available.

      Then don’t buy them, they wouldn’t be there if they didn’t sell.

      Don’t blame the supermarkets; blame the people that buy them this early!

      Our child is 24. For the last 20 years or so, we’ve been buying Easter eggs for a Christmas present. This is an ongoing family joke.

      (At Easter we try to get Halloween chocolate, and at Halloween, Christmas chocolate)

      I thought it was Valentine’s next. I mean once the sales are over.

      I can remember stacking these on Boxing Day 2004, it’s been like it for years. They’ll have been in the warehouse for months, might as well get them on sale because people will buy them.

      As a delivery driver, i can confirm I have delivered them recently.

      For me it was the fact christmas was already half stripped and replaced on the shelves by 2pm on christmas eve.

    10. _-_GJS_-_ on

      A: don’t buy them then.
      B: supermarkets aren’t just going to have an empty aisle where the Xmas shit was..the natural thing to fill that space with is….Easter eggs.

      Sky’s subheading for the article quotes a social media user outraged that “Jesus hasn’t even been born yet”.

      I think their reporting might be a few thousand years out of sync.

      Put them out whenever; I don’t care.

      But Easter is a feast that lasts 50 days, and is preceded by a period of fasting. I once tried to buy Easter eggs the day *before* Easter and they had been taken down. I will not eat them during Lent, but would happily keep buying until Whitsun.

      Christmas is also a long feast: either 12 days or 40 depending on who you ask. I would happily buy mince pies in the middle of January—even listen to bad Christmas music. But these joys are denied me in favour of unseasonal Christmas music during Advent.

      The shops do not give me the opportunity to purchase according to my preference, so don’t tell me it doesn’t affect me if I don’t want to buy.

      This has been a standing joke since Jimmy Tarbuck was in vogue…

      As a retail worker I’m way more sick of nodding and going “yeah it’s awful” when people complain than i am by items on the shelf I don’t have to buy. I’d much rather have shops care a little too much about traditions than shops that don’t care at all. “It’s consumerist” we’ve been a capitalist society for centuries. And don’t even try to complain when I’m literally scanning your creme eggs.

      I’ve been thinking a lot about Christmas recently for some reason and I think it’s really stupid that it’s hyped up for four months and you only get one day off to cook a huge dinner then it’s back to work. A holiday as big as Christmas should be 3-5 days long and i think it would stop people from moaning about mince pies being available to buy

      I’ll never complain about mini eggs being on sale. Those little beauties should be available all year round

    16. Drab_Majesty on

      boomers just want to seethe and be heard… just give em a pat on the head and the acknowledgment that they crave

    17. Alarmed_Inflation196 on

      My corner shop had mini eggs 2 months ago.

      For £2.25. For 80g (shrinkflated from 100g)

      Not a chance lol

    18. Reluctant_Dreamer on

      You can eat an Easter egg anytime of the year so this doesn’t really offend me

    19. DarkSkyz on

      I feel this is an ad aimed specifically at me, love a good Easter egg. This is great news!

    20. Vyvyansmum on

      We got bikini’s & sarongs in at Primark. It’s as if some people plan ahead.
      Yet still I’ve had someone ask me if we’ve got any Christmas jumpers left.

    21. charlotterbeee on

      I mean, being able to move from snowballs to mini eggs is good in my book.

    22. NegKDRatio on

      I for one am over the moon that my Mini Egg addiction can start again

    23. EmmForce1 on

      Was on the train mid-December and two lads off to their Christmas party were smashing back a packet of hot cross buns.

      As a middle-aged curmudgeon, I’m against this for no logical reason.

    24. setokaiba22 on

      This happens every year, usually our local Co-Op has them every Boxing Day. Doesn’t really bother me to be honest. Shops gonna do what shops gonna do – doesn’t exactly force me to buy one or insult me in anyway.
