One Rabbit or Many?

[chicken]

One rabbit or many? What do you believe? What do kids believe?

Does the Easter Bunny deliver all those eggs all by itself, in one time-space-continuum-defying night of herculean work, or is there a bevy of bunny helpers, a whole warren full of helpful little paws?

Similarly, is Santa also physics-defying, or does he just have lots of Elf helpers?

If the prevailing societal myth in both cases is actually the Lone Faster Than Light Rabbit/Santa, which of the two myths stays believable longer, for children? If one topples, does the other then automatically fall as well?

These are some thoughts I had today whilst hop-staggering down the hall to deliver only half a dozen small eggs. The bunny has some stamina! (I know I don't.)

Also, P.S., this is the perfect weekend (other than Halloween) for re-watching "The Curse of the Were-Rabbit". I'm just saying.

Let's not forget the Tooth Fairy (comment courtesy of my Mom). LOL

I'm going for the "warren full of helpful little paws". Spotted one such helper today. A white rabbit happily hopping across the road from house to house. Quite the odd site. Didn't see the basket, but perhaps it was hiding?

Good catch, the tooth fairy. You'd think kids would want to pretend believing in that as long as possible, as it brings actual cash.

I am so impressed you saw a Helper Rabbit in action!

The basket might be like Hermione's purse in the last Harry Potter book -- extra-dimensional.
