My family had the actual seder at Grandma's house, though I'm not sure if it counts as a seder if we basically just read the plagues, the four questions, and the Daiyenu song because well we should probably read SOMETHING. And on Sunday we'll head over to my aunt's for Easter.
Happy weekend, though. This week has felt SO LONG to me. And good luck on exams!
Obviously I'm on a hiatus type thing, SATs and APs and whatnot; y'know, that High School Drag(tm).
But I have a few days off now so I thought I'd pop back in to say A) welcome to all the newbies who arrived since I've been inactive! and B) Happy Passover or Easter to everybody! I have no idea when Easter is- I'm presuming Sunday? Easter Sunday is a thing I'm pretty sure- but I think this Friday is important too somehow?
WHATEVER THE CASE Happy Passover to all my fellow Jews, Happy Easter to those who celebrate, and happy weekend to everybody else! Cheers!
Look at that, there are more of us! I had no idea. Happy Passover, since we seem to be calling it that!
I was at a friend's house (also a Boarder, actually, though he isn't on much anymore--Time Engineer) for the second Seder, and didn't get to bed until 4 am. That's kind of unusual for me, but it was definitely an experience. There may have been throwing of candies and toys on the table as representations of the ten plagues, too.
('Happy Plywood Week'? Oh, Des. Whyyy.)

Oh, the joys of not being observant. Passover is one of my least favourite holidays ever.
We're also extremely reform, so for my family it's just this first seder and that's basically it, so it's not so bad! Although my mom was mentioning freezing our bread for the duration of the holiday for the first time ever, but I have no idea how serious she was actually being? Hopefully not very serious.
If not for other people, people would probably have not called my family Jewish at all. We're about as irreligious as it gets. (Except maybe my father; his is a complicated case.)
My family shall be celebrating the anniversary of humanity not being lost to the zombie apocalypse. Because we're weird like that.
*noms chocolate zombie bunny*
My mom just announced we shall be celebrating by watching every episode of Doctor Who where the Doctor regenerates. Funfun.
