Easter features some of the tastiest treats of all times like Cadbury Creme Eggs and Heavenly Hash. (But not Mini Eggs. Whoever invented those chalky chocolate tablets clearly didn't get Easter candy as a kid and is trying to punish the rest of us.)

Of all the holidays, Easter tends to be a bit overlooked when it comes to animated TV specials. But the ones that do exist are downright strange.

Kathy Landin — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 14:10:53 +0000

Somewhere along the way, an egg-toting, gift-giving rabbit became associated with the Easter holiday.
