Easter is almost upon us and everyone is getting rather excited.
For Christians it’s a time to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and reflect on their own spiritual rebirth.
For everyone else it’s pretty much a four-day chocolate egg bender with a few hot cross buns thrown in for good measure.
But the good people of the internet have now decided to get together and find a more fitting name for Easter…because it’s 2016.
Easter is obviously a chocolate orgy of Dionysian proportion, so folk felt that the new name should reflect that…

Not quite as sexy as we’d hoped for a new name for Easter, but we’ve all been here…
