Malls often provide the opportunity to have a child’s picture taken with Santa around Christmas time and the Easter Bunny near Easter. Young children are often nervous around Santa. Are they more, less, or equally as nervous around the Easter Bunny?
Just wondering.

I’ve seen small kids break into tears at the sight of a 6 foot tall rabbit. Mostly it’s the giant head, I think. It’s like 3 feet in diameter. Imagine that towering over you when you’re 3.

The Internet is full of pictures of children being traumatized by the Easter Bunny. Here’s a [gallery](http://www.chicagotribune.com/lifestyles/sns-holiday-easter-scary-bunny-pictures-photogallery.html) from the Chicago Tribune.
