Night Elf Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 If Santa is in the North Pole, shouldn't the Easter bunny have a home too? :bigear: I've no clue why I wonder things like this. But this board is so cool, I figured someone has an answer! Hmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this board is so cool, I figured someone has an answer! Hmm... I've heard many say he lives on Easter Island in a deep, secret burrow. THIS site says 'nope' to that idea :) The site also looks to have a lot of fun Easter Bunny stuff on it including tracking the Easter B on his travels at Easter :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahW Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 A burrow on Easter Island. That makes sense! Didn't the Easter Bunny originate among the Celts? I guess you could also pick a place in Ireland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest inoubliable Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 That makes sense! Didn't the Easter Bunny originate among the Celts? I guess you could also pick a place in Ireland. Northern European pagans. Interestingly, the hare and the eggs were pagan symbols of fertility. As Christianity spread, pagan traditions were absorbed into the Church's traditions. What I always thought was odd was that the Easter Bunny is usually taken to be male. Right? A male rabbit is a symbol of fertility - pregnancy, and rebirth? Male rabbit. Fertility. Seems legit.

Donna Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 When ds15 was about 3yo, he told me he knew the Easter Bunny was not real...he was "a man dressed up in a bunny suit who came to our house and left the baskets." Then he went on to guess that maybe it was Santa because he had nothing to do after Christmas anyway. So maybe he lives at the North Pole.

Maybe that's why some kids get presents! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've ever seen a lonely male rabbit try to hump a cat (and a male one at that), it makes perfect sense. :w00t: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I always figured that they were living in an island community somewhere off-season....probably in the same condo complex as the tooth fairy and a few of the leprechauns.
