Here comes Peter Cottontail...
At work the other day, a coworker asked why the Easter Bunny exists. Being a know-it-all, I explained that it was a leftover of pagan rituals, adopted by Christians so they didn't have to give up their fun rituals just because they stopped being pagan (it reminds me a little of Jews for Jesus). Anyway, I found some support for my stance here, and some info about why exactly there is a Mr Easter Bunny (a la Santa) here (3rd paragraph). But I still like the theory my coworker had as a child: "I figured when Mary Magdalene went to the tomb, the Easter Bunny was the one who told her that Jesus was gone."

I think the most important Easter question is will my mom remember to put a lot of chocolate in my Easter care package?!?
