Rondo Remembers: Easter For Monster Kids
It's time to look back and remember.
Easter mornings could go either way, warm or chilly. Most of the Easters I remember fondly were sunny with the promise of warm days and a glorious summer to come.
Easter morning would mean seeing what a visit from Peter Cottontail had brought. I would creep along the hardwood floor, slipping in my socks, down the hall to the living room. There were two big baskets of goodies. One for me and one for my little sister at our Pine Street house in Grove City, PA. Presiding over the marshmallow peeps, colored hard boiled eggs and jelly beans was a chocolate rabbit. Its ears were soon to be doomed, with the outlined chomp of my teeth. Somehow that man-sized rabbit knew what I liked beyond the Easter candy. I would find a plastic dinosaur, a SEA HUNT coloring book or a little lenticular plastic monster ring. How did he know???
In my seven year old brain, I kinda considered the Easter Bunny like a hunchbacked assistant to Santa Claus. They operated separately on separate holidays, but both came from this magical place.
After we moved and I was a little older, the Easter surprises morphed into an occasional FAMOUS MONSTERS magazine and even, on one occasion, a Mummy glow-in-the-dark Aurora model kit in the "square box." At that point I knew that ol' rabbit was getting advisement from my mom. Bless her for making those Easters "kid-fun," while meaningful too. We would break away from the Easter baskets and get ready. I got into my suit and clip-on tie or, when I was younger, bow tie! Jelly bean stash in my suit jacket pocket. Mom took us to church for the real Easter story.
I continued these traditions with my daughter when she was young. Adding a trail of real carrots from her bedroom door to the Easter basket. I engineered bites missing from the carrots...heh. She also got things like little plastic dinosaurs and monsters along with a white chocolate bunny.
Happy Easter to you and your family.
