Only 8 active members have had Easter birthdays or at least Easter weekend birthdays.
I was born within an hour of Easter Sunday and I've had 7 Easter weekend birthdays total. Thank goodness I didn't get named Bunny! LOL I do, however, have a lot of rabbit/bunny stuffies I received as gifts over the years. I once got gifted earrings that were ON the stuffed bunny!

orionsrose - we're not religious and haven't followed the Easter traditions, either - there is a tradition special for Finland - On Palm Sunday, children dress up as little witches. Wearing colourful clothes, overhead scarves and painted freckles on their cheeks, the little witches go from door to door with their willow twigs (decorated with ribbon and feathers) saying: “Virvon, varvon, tuoreeks terveeks, tulevaks vuodeks; vitsa sulle, palkka mulle.” With their spell, the little Easter witches are wishing you a healthy year. As an exchange for the decorative twig, they are expecting a little treat from you, like an Easter egg, chocolate or a coin. The tradition derives from the times when evil spirits and witches were thought to wander around the streets doing mischief before Easter. I may have done that as a child, but don't really remember... happy belated birthday wishes, btw (or early - just noticed it could be later as well OMG )
