Easter

As far as holidays go, Easter might not be as popular as Christmas or Halloween, but it still has traditions and treats that can raise anyone’s spirit, mood or blood sugar level.

It's Easter weekend, and we all know what that means -- time to eat some ham and get your crunk on. We've always said if you aren't risking an insulin coma, you aren't really drinking, so here are some Peeps-themed cocktails to prove you love Easter but hate your body...

In case you haven't noticed, costumed characters can be super creepy. Remember those scary Santas? It's the stuff of nightmares. Unfortunately, the Easter Bunny is no exception.

If you haven't seen this before, now is the time to watch it. It's a piece of video art by Lernert Engleberts and Sander Plug as part of a preschool art project called "Big Art for Little People."

Easter's right around the corner, so it's time to get into the holiday spirit. Create some awesome eggs, stuff yourself with Peeps--whatever floats your Easter boat. If none of this prep works for you though, we say take a cue from these Easter bunny babies.

Easter is coming! Usually we aren't very excited about this holiday, because ham is an everyday part of life the way we roll. However, these hand-painted eggs have us excited for the holiday we haven't celebrated since 2009. If you're tired of dunking some eggs in vinegar-scented food coloring water, check these out for some inspiration. Or, you know, just because they're awesome.

You may not be aware, but the Easter Bunny has been around for a long time. Easily one of the most recognizable symbols of the holiday, the loveable critter was first mentioned in an essay by German physician and botanist Georg Franck von Frankenau all the way back in 1682. Funny, we always figured he was just a Hallmark creation.

The Easter Bunny was busted just before Easter for...well, let's just say he had more than eggs in his basket.

To help celebrate Easter, Good Morning Sacramento reporter Alan Sanchez dressed up like the Easter Bunny and set off to entertain children. Some would say his wild gyrations in front of the kids would be more at home at a furry convention than a sacred holiday.

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.) Marshmallow Peeps may also be a traditional Easter candy, but they are still good on every other day on the calendar.

They might seem cute, fuzzy and fake in the eyes of someone with a college education and an unpaid mortgage, but Easter terrors are clearly harboring some kind of evil that only children can smell. The blog, Sketchy Bunnies, has been compiling the worst wabbits ever to grace the pages of a family's photo album. These are the sketchiest of the sketchy.

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.

Somewhere along the way, an egg-toting, gift-giving rabbit became associated with the Easter holiday. We assume that soon after, sadistic parents decided that it would be fun to make sure any likeness of this generous rabbit should be creepy and frightening so they can take pictures and video of their children being completely freaked out.

If holidays at your home were anything like ours, then your fondest memories of Easter (aside from a heavy dinner followed by copious amounts of chocolate and Peeps) revolve around decorating eggs, especially with Paas kits and those impossibly messy dye tablets. Remember those?

The Easter Bunny is once again hippity-hopping his way toward our brightly-colored baskets. And while we may never be able to find the logic in a rabbit that lays eggs, (?!?!) we CAN say with certainty that the adorable cotton tails in these videos are sweeter than a Cadbury Creme Egg...and far less likely to melt in your purse.
