Children wrote letters to the Easter Bunny, expressed their problems, and asked for chocolate eggs.
Tens of thousands of children expecting to have their dreams fulfilled again sent letters to the Easter Bunny in Ostereistedt, northern Germany. Children have been mailing their letters to Ostereistedt for the past forty years; the name approximately translates to "Easter egg town" in English.
Over 70,000 letters were delivered to the village's post office, which is located about 30 kilometers (19 miles) northeast of Bremen, according to Deutsche Post.
The final of the children's demands was seen being fulfilled by a person dressed as the Easter Bunny.
Almost a thousand messages were received from abroad, hailing from 40 different nations, including Australia and Brazil. Due to the war at home, Ukrainian youngsters who were forced to flee to Germany also wrote to the Easter Bunny. The sum is actually 10,000 less than last year's total and much below the top of 100,000 in 2021 when the coronavirus pandemic was at its peak.
The Head of the Easter Post Office, Doris Kröger, said, "With every letter, I see the children's eyes light up when they find the answer in the letterbox."
