Okay, I'm looking for a straight up answer here. Why do we color eggs on easter? How does a giant bunny relate to Jesus being resurrected? WTF? ....Please no "hair (hare) club for men" references. :-)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_eggs The egg is symbolic of the grave and life renewed by breaking out of it. The red symbolizes the blood of Christ redeeming the world, represented by the egg, and our regeneration through the bloodshed for us by Christ. The egg itself is a symbol of the Resurrection while being dormant it contains a new life sealed within it. Does this help?

And the giant bunny? lol, thats just funny to say :-) but really, wtf? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_bunnyThe "Easter Bunny" is a traditional holiday character in the form of a rabbit which is said to leave gifts, usually Easter baskets for children at Easter (or at springtime). It originates in Western European cultures, where it is a hare rather than a rabbit, and in the eastern half of the continent it also has a long tradition in Hungary. The Easter Bunny is an example of folklore mythology. Other prominent characters are Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy. Some families participate in the roles of this myth without believing in it literally as a form of play or tradition. Visit the link for more. I am sure you will get your answer.
