... what happened to Easter?

Easter came and went and i only just got to chuck some bunny and chicken decos on the tables before it was over. Tessa got right into the easter box and did the serious easter decorations - all the ornaments on one branch of the palm tree and secret letters to easter bunny (probably, "bring me the loads of chocolates, ive been really good") in a easter egg. It probalby passed so qwik as we were away sailing, and I never properly pondered over the true reasons for easter - maybe next easter I will be ready to take on the whole kit. In childhood spirit an egghunt was conducted on a lone and hot island in the Carrabien - all the children shouted out over the seas - we love you easter bunny! as she (presumably) sped away in her speed boat. Easter bunny must be a lady bunny, right?, 'cause as far as i know no male bunnies have been seen hiding eggs since... well ... never!
