Almost all Christian celebrations are at least some part inspired by pagan culture. The Christmas tree was originally from Scandinavia, and indeed, one of the early reasons for creating saints was to have them be easier replacements for pagan gods. Christianity's ability to absorb regional folk myths into its own religion is part of the reason it saw such a massive, non-violent expansion.
As for this situation...don't people have something they should be doing instead of worrying that someone might be offended at a fake rabbit? Shouldn't we be more worried about making sure our children learn facts, like how bunnies really have nothing to do with (solid) eggs. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]
