Like many of the traditions tied in with our celebrations of holidays, The Easter Bunny originated in Germany. In the 1500's, a German story told of a mother who hid colored eggs for her children to find. After finding them, they saw a big rabbit hop away and believed it must have been responsible for leaving the eggs. By the 1800's, the Germans were making rabbit shaped pastries for Easter. German immigrants brought the custom to America along with holiday games that had children making nests for the Easter Bunny with the expectation they would be filled with colored eggs and gummy candies, the predecessors of our jellybeans.

Is the Easter Bunny really cutting his budget this year because my parents said that?
Even in Easter Valley times are a bit tighter this year. I am sure that the Easter Bunny will still make Easter special for you and everyone else he visits this year. One thing that should cheer you up is that the Easter Bunny has been around for a very long time, and he has seen a lot of times when he needed to cut his budget, and I have never ever heard of anyone saying The Easter Bunny skipped me this year. or man that Easter Bunny only left me socks. He has many tricks and knows how to work around tight situations.
