Yes...the Jewish holiday where we all eat Matzoh (flatbread without leaven), drink lots of wine, and generally remember the leaving of our ancestors' enslavement in Egypt, several thousand years ago.
And no, I *don't* only like it for the food...I *don't* only like it for the food...I *don't* only like it for the food...I *don't* only like it for the food...gotta keep reminding myself that...I *don't* only like it for the food...I *don't* only like it for the food...
Bad part = the cleaning. We have to get rid of every drop of Chamatz (leaven, bread, yeast...), completely. So um...that means new dishes, boiling cutlery...
Then we have these huge Seders, in which we sit down and tell the story (in Hebrew) of the going out of Egypt...and then we eat, and we sing...
Y'know what? I *do* enjoy it for the food, AND the other stuff.
[edit]
Btw...this means I'll be gone for a while...a few days.
