Yes, so I'm knee deep in Passoverness ATM. Twas the first two days of the festival thursday and friday, followed by the sabbath which made for one big bumper three-day festival of not doing much, what with me being back at home and acting the good little jew-boy
.
Anyway, Wednesday and Thursday nights we did the Seder ceremony, which involves four cups of wine, four questions, four sons and plenty other recurring fours. Lots of matzah eating, reading from the haggadah and discussing in minitiae of the symbolism in the ceremony (dinner didn't actually start until 9:30ish) . Overall, an enjoyable celebration of freedom and nationhood. The wine helped.
So the festival actually ends on thursday night. Then we can go back to eating normal food and my bowels can recover from all the matzah.
