What did you do for Easter after your kids stopped believing in the Easter Bunny?

[Anonymous]

Seriously? Easter Bunny? How did you get your kids to believe in something like this in the first place?
Is it part of the Judeo-Christian tradition or is it just one of those "made up" concepts like Valentine's
so people can buy junk and spent a little fortune benefiting chocolate makers who did not manage
to push enough brown gold and have tons of left overs after February 14?

Could you please tell me more about Easter Bunny's features? What is it all about?
Does he hop out of the carrot cage? Or slide up the chimney the usual way, or
is he emerging from the Dandelion vase?

Is he hopping around or something? Does he carry peaceful Easter Basket to your door?

Okay, seriously. Go to the Safeway, buy a bunch of junk and stuff it into the Michael's 40%
off basket. Make sure there is tons of activities so kids do not get bored over the Easter.
Few good video games or DVD's work miracles.
There are tons of outdoor activities around Easter and on Monday after, in each nearby farm.
Hey rides and all that. Good old fashion fresh air.

I'm really confused by this. How does one "do the Easter Bunny" that doesn't involve hunting for eggs, getting treats, or a basket? Seems like you do all the key parts of the Easter Bunny ritual, what do you think you're leaving out?

Easter Bunny ritual? What the heck is the Easter Bunny ritual? And what is up with money hunting for Easter? I would suggest you call it a Bunny holiday not Easter, rebirth of Jesus Christ, hence biggest Christian celebration any Christian should ever have. Eggs have been a part of Easter for thousand years, this bunny is a German Protestant invention, to keep kids in line. Hunting for eggs can be a fun activity, laugh all your want at my rejection of fooling my kids around with presents from Easter Bunny, we celebrate Easter and we celebrate with old traditions and plenty of fun. Please tell me which church you all go to that encourages fooling kids with Easter Bunny?

Which Chris?

Yes that Chris! I am pp who initially said Chris instead of Christ! Kringle and Bunny are the same concept. I am glad that my misspelled post is making people laugh!

And here I was thinking that all of you got it wrong. It's Kris Kringle, of course! But, yes, thanks for the giggle. Some folks seem to be in the spirit and others ... not so much! Sigh.
