This is another reason I don't like the "Easter Bunny" or "Santa Clause" or any other ferry story. It makes Jesus Christ look like all the other fairy tale characters.
When we teach children to enjoy these cartoon characters, so much so that we buy gifts supposedly from them, speak of them with fondness and dress up in costumes, we have made those entities very special. Why would a child think anything different about Christ from the Bible, they will think of Him as just another warm fuzzy cartoon character.
Ask a child sometime, who has been raised on all these fairy stores, if he believes in Jesus Christ, any child raised in church will tell you he does. Then ask that same child if they believe in the Easter Bunny or Santa Clause, he will say he believes in them too.
