"Because we're not Jews!"

Depends on definitions - in a sense Christianity is a version of Judaism (as a religion), and Christians do celebrate Passover; but there's been a lot of divergence, and different rituals are observed.

The Easter Bunny stuff and much of the Christmas stuff is a pretty modern invention, driven by commercialism. I don't think you see many Easter Bunnies round church celebrations at Easter.
