I just wish they'd settle on a date for Easter and be done with it.
But, the whole point of Easter is that it has a full moon!
A full-*ish* moon, actually. The definitions of the equinox and full
moon used when determining Easter are rather different from the real
definitions used by astronomers, which would actually give rise to
different (perhaps several weeks different) Easter dates depending on
one's longitude.
But I thought that for most people the whole point of Easter is that
they get time off work.
