The Easter Bunny – Why do They Give Out Easter Bunny Letters?

It’s getting close to Easter time so it is not surprising that most kids are beginning to think about the Easter Bunny and writing letters to him. Just yesterday a child from my neighborhood asked me some simple, yet difficult to answer questions. To begin he wanted to know why other animals don’t deliver Easter candy, treats and letters during Easter? This little boy was full of questions about Easter and the Easter Bunny. Of course, some of the information I could provide but other things he asked I really wasn’t sure about. This was the first time that I had been asked so many things about Easter and the Easter Bunny. I was stunned and not quite sure what to say.

Most of you probably have been wondering why it is that Easter candy and treats are delivered by a rabbit. After all, there are hundreds of other animals that could have been the Easter holiday hero. Why is Easter all about Easter Bunny letters and eggs? Here is what I’ve found out.

Easter is the season where winter ends, and it marks the beginning of spring. For religious events, this is also the time where people would celebrate and commemorate on the re-birth of the Savior. Easter is actually a combination of the different cultures and traditions from other countries. No matter what their reason for celebrating Easter is – it just symbolizes and gives everyone a single meaning – hope.

This four letter word is a short word, yet a very powerful one. The winter has passed, and the beginning of spring is due to people’s hopes and dreams. Although not so many people realize it, or even if they would claim that there is no such thing as hope, it is still within them. Hope is the thing that even makes everyone get out of bed in the morning. Just reflect on these things, and you will understand what I am saying.

Since Easter is all about hope, re-birth and the start of a new beginning, eggs are the best thing that can symbolize these three things. Eggs simply indicate that something new is about to come and something fresh is about to be experienced. Eggs are also the symbol of fertility, and the birth of someone and bunnies simply indicate cleanliness and a jolly start – that is what the Easter bunny and eggs came from.

For the Easter Bunny letters, it is something that can give kids inspirational messages – even though most parents do not understand, Easter letters would give children that new hope and make them find life more interesting than they could have ever imagined. This Easter be sure to tell the children in your life what a good job they are doing on a daily basis – this can refer to almost anything. This Easter, be sure that everyone important to you knows that they are valued and loved and let them know that hope is a big part of Easter.
