What’s Easter again?

I need to look up what Easter Sunday means again.

For me this year, it involved two Easter egg hunts and a visit from my father-in-law. There were a couple of Happy Easter (!) greetings from family and friends which made me hesitant to say it back without really knowing what I was celebrating or yelling back for.

I know it has something to do with Jesus Christ but why is there a bunny rabbit involved with supposed chicken eggs?? Why not baby rabbits? Or why not a chicken AND the eggs? How did this combo come about?

This kinda irritates me, how I’ve gotten suckered again into traditions just because others have been doing it for years and so now it’s become mine. Makes me rethink if I want my kids to spread these on to their kids, as my parents have done to me.

But then again, it IS fun. Does it really need to make sense?
