FROM WIKIPEDIA "EASTER BUNNY" According to tradition, German children would build brightly colored nests, often out of caps and bonnets, in secluded areas of their homes. The "O_ster Haws_e" would, if the children had been good, lay brightly colored eggs in the nest. As the tradition spread, the nest became the Easter basket, and placing of the nest in a secluded area has become the tradition of hiding baskets.
