A good try, restless -- but your answers have some problems (particularly the use of a comma splice). Here are some other possibilities:
1. Easter is a day for celebrating one's religion, enjoying the spring time symbolism, or at least appreciating the chocolate Easter eggs and bunnies.
2. Easter is a day for people to celebrate their religion, to appreciate the spring time symbolism, and to enjoy the chocolate Easter eggs and bunnies.
3. Easter is a special day for those who celebrate their religion, who enjoy the spring time symbolism, or who just appreciate the chocolate Easter eggs and bunnies.
