The Green Rabbit

My dad's family use to have this tradition that revolved around a puke green UGLY rabbit cookie jar. I don't know how this got started or how it ended a couple of years ago, but it was part of our family for over 20 years. The green rabbit would suddenly appear at weddings, birthdays, front porches, family reunions, etc... There would always be a poem attached explaining where the rabbit had been and why he came for a visit. It was one of my favorite family jokes. For my family it was a great way to stay connected to our extended family who lived far away.
