About The Easter Bunny
The Easter Bunny has been leaving eggs in American baskets since at least the 1840s, carried over by German immigrants who called the tradition Osterhase. By the early 1900s, department stores were staging full Easter parades and window displays built around the basket-bearing rabbit. The chocolate egg came along a little later, but it caught up fast, and now it might be the thing children remember most clearly about the whole morning.
