What does the Easter Bunny do the other 364 days?



Is this what Jesus would do?

According to Wikipedia, the origins of the Easter bunny do not match what is seen in this video. I smell conspiracy.

The idea of an egg-laying bunny came to the United States in the 18th century. German immigrants in the Pennsylvania Dutch area told their children about the "Osterhas," sometimes spelled "Oschter Haws." "Hase" means "hare," not rabbit, and in Northwest European folklore the "Easter Bunny" indeed is a hare, not a rabbit. According to the legend, only good children received gifts of colored eggs in the nests that they made in their caps and bonnets before Easter.[4] In 1883, Jakob Grimm wrote of long-standing similar myths in Germany itself. Noting many related landmarks and customs, Grimm suggested that these derived from legends of Ostara.[5]

Let's hope the Easter Bunny will outgrow this behavior. His mom must be so upset. MY son would never do anything like this.
