We've just recently moved to a location where there aren't too many other Jews and I get lazy (read- exhausted) sometimes of being a subject of Show-and-Tell. "Yeah, sure.. Just like Halloween". I should really approach the subject with more honesty and enthusiasm, but heh. And I think the bunnies and eggs are a pagan thing- Ishtar and fertility and such. Kinda weird, if you ask me. As far as holidays go. =P Haha, I’ve said that, too about Purim.

Since we all know the last supper was a Passover Seder this seems a sensible explanation for the egg. Now the Bunny... I have no idea. `The egg probably comes from Passover since it is one of the symbols on the seder plate representing the circle of life and the sacrifice in the days of the temple.
