You false prophet! Santa Claus is real, but the Easter bunny is a complete fabrication.

Cute, I don't believe in Santa Claus. Santa Claus was a marketing creation. However there was a real man named ST. Nicholas who after anonymously leaving food to the poor at the doorstep, people copied started to copy his deeds. People started to leave things for other people and just said that ST. Nicholas did it, even after the man died. This turned into a tradition that somehow got turned into only giving toys to children on Dec. 25.
If you want to know about the real St. Nick read up:

As for the Easter Bunny. The egg and rabbits (for obvious reasons) was considered signs of fertility. This was a borrowed from an ancient pagan belief. The coloring of the eggs is supposed to be representative of the blood of Christ. Now it is a different ball game.

By the way, I don't think there is anything wrong with the religion borrowing from pagan beliefs. People usually adapt to their environment anyway.

The Easter Bunny is an emblem it quite is a blend of the fertility rites that the Pagans practiced and the religion of the early Christian Church. The church usurped Pagan gala's and emblems to make Christianity more desirable perfect to the plenty. How can all of us over 5 years old heavily trust contained in the Easter Bunny? supply me a destroy.

There are 4 stages in a man's life:
1. You believe in Santa Claus
2. You don't believe in Santa Claus
3. You are Santa Claus
4. You look like Santa Claus

I have better evidence. Last Christmas I WAS Santa and I also hid Easter Eggs on Easter for my children.
So both exist. I am both.

This infidel has seen plenty of evidence of God and Jesus. Just because I cannot reproduce it for you doesn't mean it is not physical enough proof for me to believe.
John 20:29
Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
