... from my Dad.
 As my family was walking through the mall, we passed the large, decorated area where little kids were allowed to sit on the Easter Bunny's lap for a picture. After glancing down at the scene, my father mused, "I've always wondered why you don't get to sit on Jesus' lap for Easter." Think about that for a minute. Take it out of context, remove the implications regarding materialism/consumerism/ect. Why AREN'T we sitting in Jesus' lap this Easter? Why can't we? Just something to think about, my friends. Happy Easter. faithfully, ~muse

Because Jesus would do it for free, and the malls want to make their money?

Jesus said; "Come unto me ALL ye who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." [Mathew 11 verse 28]
I'll certainly take him up on that invitation! Happy Easter! m.b.

$34.99??? I'll take my own pics, thank you.
There's probably a secular aspect to it, too. The Easter Bunny is Pagan and while Easter is a religious holiday, it was combined with Pagan features to try to convert the Pagans, and the malls understandably don't want to push one religion over another.
