Special Guest Blogger: The Easter Bunny

In our busy lives we don't often get the chance to sit down and reflect on the true meaning of Easter or the sacrifice of someone who gave their all for us. Who? Don't be silly, I’m talking about me, the Easter Bunny.
With the possible exception of Santa Claus himself, there is not a busier mammal on the face of the earth than the Easter Bunny. Once a year i hop into the home of hundreds of millions of boys and girls all over the World, dropping off chocolate eggs.
Christmas is obviously the big one when it comes to holidays, we get blasted with songs about snowmen and Santa but Easter is just about stuffing chocolate and trying to avoid the religious films on the television.
For some reason, nobody has managed to come up with a good Easter song in the same way that Christmas has caught the imagination of songwriters.
I can't think of one tune that tells us that the Easter Bunny is coming to town or how we wish it could be Easter everyday.
If Easter is more important than Christmas to the religious crowd then you would have thought Slade or The Pogues would have put out a 'Merry Easter Everybody' single about hanging up a crucifix on your wall, it's the time that every Judas has a ball.
The only rabbit based film i can recall was Watership Down and there wasn't a chocolate egg in sight.
The Spring holiday used to be simple enough, you'd dig the old druidic robes out of the closet, pop down to the local ring of giant stones to watch a virgin get stabbed in the heart with a goats horn but then as usual the Christians came along and ruined everyone's good time by calling the day their saviour was beaten, tortured and nailed to a big piece of wood 'Good Friday'.
Good is not the word i'd use to describe it but then i don't know where it says in the Bible that they should celebrate the Crucifixion of God's only son by eating our own weight in chocolate, or where a rabbit fits into the whole scheme of things but that's the way Christians have decided to do it and who are we to argue. Keeps me in a job after all.
