One A Penny

My gorgeous Irish cousin posted this to Facebook as the new year began:
"Jaysus lads, we won't feel de Christmas now."

In aussie translation - 'it's funny, mate'.
She was taking the proverbial out of the 'ould ones' (and probably plenty of young ones too) who barely finish one event (Christmas, birthday, recession, pee...) before banging on about the next instalment.

I've eaten two hot cross buns and a Cadbury Creme Egg in the last fortnight
(plus plenty else - don't worry, that's not where I'm going here.)
I wanted to buy and eat little Caramello filled eggs in the supermarket yesterday and I started to think (or was it dream?) about those little Lindt bunnies last night.

Resistance is futile.
(For the most part, anyway) I'm above the age of twelve. What hope have our children got?

I think I want to have a stern word, and maybe a little physicality, with the people responsible for 'Easterizing' our shelves in  February (or January, even.)
Obviously, they are savvy to the fickle, weak-willed ways of consumers like me who take the bait.

Or do I want to kiss those same clever people with my gooey sweet eggy lips for extending my Creme Egg tenure?

Are you a sucker too?
Shar :-)

N.B. A Creme Egg if you can pick how many completely Shar-invented words/terms there are in this post?
Two if you compliment me on my buns. :-)
