It seems that we shop for Easter every year. Oh ya…the Easter holiday does come around once each year.

What are you going to buy at Easter time? Will it be new clothes? How about a hat, shoes or neck tie? Almost every article of clothing possible will be offered at the malls as holiday sale merchandise.

Frugal shoppers will find something they can wear for all occasions. Then there are those of us that use the occasion for an excuse to buy that special something we have had our eye on for a long time. That special frilly hat or suspenders with bunnies will no doubt be stowed in the closet until next year after we wear it just once.

Of course there is the ever present eggs and easter baskets with plastic grass for the kids. The hollow chocolate bunnies are always the favorite or is ti the multi-colored marshmallow bunnies sprayed with sugar.

And what is it about the Easter Bunny? How did a bunny become the stand-in mascot for Easter?
