So, can shops open on Easter Sunday? Only if you live in a country that loves small business more than big corporations. In the UK, the big boys stay shut; in the US, it’s a state-by-state crapshoot; in Germany, God help you if you want a loaf of bread; and in France, the baguette always wins. The real lesson here is: plan ahead, or be willing to pay triple for milk at the corner shop. That Easter egg-shaped justice is swift.
And if you’re still desperate, remember: you can always knock on your neighbor’s door. They’ll probably have leftover hot cross buns and a story about that one time they tried to buy a car on Easter Sunday in New Jersey. Don’t do it. Just eat the chocolate. It’s what Jesus would’ve wanted.
