Why is Easter SO commercialized? Where did the "Easter Bunny" come from? At least Santa has a story, and a reason. Why a bunny? I do no understand the purpose of the commercialism of Easter. Easter is the celebration of the Resurrection of Christ, not a time for bunnies, and massive amounts of candy.
So after a long discussion with Jason, we decided no more. Our children are not going to grow up with the commercialism of Easter. Easter is the celebration of Christ. So we told our children there is no Easter Bunny. And we are focusing on the true meaning of the holiday, not the candy, egg hunts, and bunnies. We will still attend family eggs hunts, as I do believe family events are important, and at our egg hunts it is grandma and papa who hide the candy, not a bunny. They will still receive a small gift, a book about Christ.
Am I crazy for telling my kids there is no Easter Bunny?

You're not crazy at all, Liv! I've been wanting to do the same thing. I've been so caught up in my daughter's baptism tomorrow that I've forgotten to even talk to the kids about it. :(
