Can you keep a secret? Don't tell anybody but in a lot of ways I put God and the Easter Bunny in it just to be weird. I've been getting into bizarro fiction lately and those guys will often be bizarre just to break up the monotony and keep it fun and imaginative. Okay, now I'm going to let the pompous write take over. ..

-Ahem-(coughing with importance) God, the Easter Bunny and The Ghost of Christmas Present obviously symbolize the writer himself, and in a symbolic dream state of creation where he has disembodied himself into the Freudian id, ego and super ego.

The writer is God because he is creating this story, this realm, this world and all the living creatures upon it. The Ghost of Christmas Past is a symbol of his unconsciousness at work. The Easter Bunny, who is in fact a writer in the story, is the conscious self trying to make sense of it all. The writer is the ignorant one in the story, God and The Ghost of Christmas Present know what's going to happen, or should I say, is bound to happen, but the Easter Bunny--the writer, the man--is trying to understand what the deeper more primordial parts of his twisted psyche are saying, and feeling.

Their arguing, and God's silence and lack of participation are meant to show the writer's internal struggle with deciphering and comprehending events.

Hope this helps, buddy. Thanks so much for reading, and happy holidays!
