I was a die-hard believer in the Easter Bunny…and boy did it burn when I found out the truth. I think the chapter in Superfudge when the older brother questioned Santa opened up the world of adulthood for me.
(I still get baskets of goodies though! More Peeps than you can shake a stick at this year.)
For some reason, I never did actually believe in the Easter Bunny, and I knew the the Tooth Fairy was my parents, but I distinctly remember praying to Santa Claus for a Nintendo when I was six. And did that jolly bastard come through? Of course not, because the corn harvest was crap that year. And in an interesting twist, I didn’t realize that St. Patrick was real until sixth grade.

Happy Easter everyone! Here’s to lots of candy!
We always make deviled eggs with our decorated masterpieces (what else ya gonna do with all those hard-boiled eggs?). We’ not alone in this are we? A friend just looked at me like I was crazy when I made the suggestion.

What is the name of the popular egg dyeing kit? I think it begins with a "P" but I cant remember and my mind is failing me. My parents would let me pick out the egg dyeing kit every year and I usually chose this one because it had little cut out Easter themed standups on the back and cutesy bunnies and chicks on the package. One year we bought that and the plastic wraps. I remember there being Bambi/Thumper themed ones and some with bunnies and butterflies… very pretty and made attractive eggs.
Never did really believe in the Easter Bunny. It just wasnt Easter without a stuffed bunny, some peeps, and a chocolate rabbit of some sort. The worst though was the year a cousin of mine came up to visit for Easter and what was topping HIS Easter basket? None other than TMNT for the NES. A freakin VIDEO GAME for EASTER !! I was devestated after that… LOL the year afterward I did score a Disney movie for Easter, it was 101 Dalmations I think. Either that or the Little Mermaid. Cant remember. My mom would always find cool stuff to put in my basket though like Easter colouring books, stickers, pretty stationary, sometimes a small inexpensive piece of bunny/butterfly/spring themed jewerly.

Kittycatgirl:
You’re thinking of "PAAS"
Chestnuts roasted by Cameron T. @ 04/16/2006 9:50 AM
I wonder is PAAS is an acronym for something?
Those of you complaining about acronyms should stop. In everyday life they aren’t too bad. However, I work for a contractor for the Navy, and the number of acronyms we use is ridiculous. For the first few weeks I usually had a blank look on my face at meetings, because I had no idea what anyone was talking about. I got dragged into a teleconference with some bigwigs on my second day, and they thought I was an idiot because I was constantly asking what "SBTC" (Shielded Basket Transfer Container) or "FROD’ (Functional Requirements and Objectives Document) stood for.
All that changed when someone took mercy on me and gave me a copy of the BLOA (Big List Of Acronyms).

Oh, and happy Easter everyone!
I honestly can’t remember if I believed in the Easter bunny, which is kind of sad. However, I grew up in a pretty religious home, so the Easter bunny wasn’t really a big deal at my house.
I did believe in Santa up until sometime between Christmas in 1st grade and Christmas in 2nd grade, so I suppose there’s a good chance that I believed in the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. I do remember the look of surprise on Mom’s face when she came to tell me the truth about Santa and I told her I’d already figured it out. I then asked why she and Dad had lied, when they had taught me lying was wrong. Boy, that was awkward

I TOTALLY believed in the Easter Bunny- my parents were great. On Easter, I would awake to a huge gift basket on the floor of my room. I would munch on that until my little brother came in- then we would use the basket to hunt for the CHOCOLATE all over the house.
You had to move quick, or else the windowsill chocolates wouldn’t make it…one year we found melted eggs a few days later hidden between two towels in the bathroom. Oops.
What about you guys? Any egg hunt accidents?

The Yeti,
Nah, that’s hardly Hell-worthy. Now, if the annual Easter movie were "Critters 2: The Main Course"…

I really wanted to go to the mall this year and get a photo of the Easter bunny sitting in my lap, but I never got around to it what with the computer and car breaking. It’s a ghetto mall, they’d of probably let me do it.
And with that, I need to go file my nails because they’re getting too long and I’m hitting 2 keys at once. o.O
Heathens! How can you all deny the existence of the Easter Bunny. If he’s not real, then who the hell left my Easter basket chock full of delightful treats and colored eggs this morning???

Mara: It’s ok, no bitchiness taken. But nah, I don’t really want anything to do with real eggs. I’m vegan for both my health (by choice, it’s not forced because of a medical issue or anything) and for the moral aspect of it also.

Dammit, I wish I posted the new Easter entry before the SNT, because there’s loads of Easter fun in the comments here. Oh well. :/
