This time of year it feels like we get it from both sides. There's  "wah, I can't buy alcohol for 24 hours" and "but I wanna open my garden centre" from one side and "it doesn't make sense for non-christians to want a day off" from the other.

I think it's really important that we have a few days each year where everything just stops. Days when most

I find it bizarre that people are still using that 'you heathens enjoying our holidays' line. I mean, okay, then we'll have all the non-religious shit. Trees, decorations, Santa Claus, bunnies, chocolate, yeasty buns... none of it Christian.

The problem with Good Friday is its being a lunar festival. Yes, I'd like enforced stats, but ones that swing around a month-long window? Not so much.

I'd have no problem fixing the date of Easter at the mid-point of the window (for example). It's not like we observe the exact anniversary of the crucifixion as it is and no one thinks it weird that we observe the Queen's Birthday on a different day than it actually is.
