Here’s the silver lining. Easter Monday is a glorious bank holiday in the UK, Australia, Canada, and many European countries.
So you get a four-day weekend from Friday to Monday, but Sunday is just... there. It’s the middle child of the Easter weekend.
You take off Friday. You party Saturday. You panic Sunday because your bank is open. Then you celebrate Monday. It’s emotional whiplash.

The Real Question
Should Easter Sunday become a bank holiday? Proponents say yes. It would give people a true long weekend with no “workday” interruption.
Opponents point out that giving another Sunday off is redundant. And businesses would lose money from last-minute shoppers.
I say this: if you can convince a bunny to bring chocolate, you can convince your boss to give you Sunday off. Call it a “mental health day.”
