Easter crackers and trees go on sale and shoppers are BAFFLED by them
EASTER crackers, trees and even wreaths have gone on sale and shoppers are baffled by them.
Retailers including Sainsbury's, Waitrose, John Lewis and Not On the High Street have started selling the Spring-themed decorations to turn the holiday into a money-spinner.
“I would really recommend putting them in a hall so that when your guests arrive you have a home made Easter tree with lots of baubles on.”
But unconvinced shoppers have been sharing their views on social media.
One said: "Hmmm, I guess if hot cross buns are avail [sic] all year round then 'Easter crackers' make sense also..."
Another added: "Easter crackers?! WTH!?".
Hundreds of images of Easter trees and wreaths have been shared by crafters on Pinterest and Instagram.
But where did the tradition of decorating a tree at Christmas begin? Many people believe it started while Queen Victoria was on the throne.
In fact, it originally came from Germany, where Prince Albert was born, and was introduced to England during the Georgian period while King George III was on the throne.
