The holiday is quickly approaching, need to get plans finalized.
Gonna have a semi-traditional seder here at my house, the first annual of my generation in the family. Since I have been a kid, its always been my Dads generation, or even his parent's generation. But, now its time to pass the torch to my generation.
What are ya'll doin?

I forgot I have the internet. So I looked it up.
taken from the internet;
"Taking place the first 2 nights of the 8 day holiday, the Seder is the most important event in the Passover celebration. Usually gathering the whole family and friends together, the Seder is steeped in long held traditions and customs
Leading up to the first night of Passover, the home is cleaned and cleared of all yeast foods, called hametz. All hametz is either eaten before Passover begins or "sold" to non-Jewish neighbors and friends"
Purim; (from judaism 101)
"Purim is one of the most joyous and fun holidays on the Jewish calendar. It commemorates a time when the Jewish people living in Persia were saved from extermination."
Condensed versions, hope they are right.
Raised in a lutheran home I missed out.

Same here. I grew up thinking a Seder was that evergreen tree growing out back. CHEESUS what a sheltered childhood.....back when a mixed marriage was a Lutheran marrying a Presbyterian. Now, we're non-denominational, but still celebrate ascent ion day with lots of fresh sushi and a new box of Lincoln Logs.
I'm all for ANY paid holiday.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

I was raised Lutheran, too.
My family isn't that religious, though. I'm probably the most religious person in my family. And I have traumas from my childhood: my school used to show us terrible film about Jesus' last hours before Easter break.  And that was years before Mel Gibson's flick...
Easter is interesting time for me this year. Me & Mum leave for Prague on April 13th, my birthday is April 14th and it's been 9 years since dad died on April 18th... That is always a sad time for me. I always miss him terribly on that day... Old memories from 1997 come back on that day. I connect dad's death and Easter, as back in 1997 me and mum attended some Easter concert day after dad passed away.
I have happy memories about Easter, too. I used to dye colored eggs as a kid. That was lots of fun. And when I was a kid I used to eat lots of chocolate eggs, Kinder was my fave. Mum used to hide chocolate eggs around the house and I and my pals went to find them... Naturally it wasn't about if we found them or not but more like would we found them before dad - he liked chocolate more than anyone else!
BTW, in America kids go trick'n'treating on Halloween. But kids in Finland dress up as witches and trolls on Easter, on Palm Sunday, to be exact. Then they decorate branches of birch tree with strings, feathers and all nice things and go to door to door say this poem:
"Virvon varvon
tuoreeks, terveeks
tulevaks vuodeks,
vitsa sulle, palkka mulle"
It's difficult to translate, but it basically is good-will wishes; kids wish good health to the people for the next year. The tradition is, that after the kids have said that poem, they will give that decorated branch to the people who have opened the door and they will get candy, cookies, cupcakes, donuts, fruit, money or etc. as a reward.

I think it's really important to teach my kids about other cultures and religions so I love hearing these stories and traditions. I always take my children to the Diwali festival in Leicester for instance, the hindu festival of light. We've had special meals for Eid and all sorts of other festivals too but as yet we haven't celebrated a Jewish one, sounds like a good idea for this year.
For Easter I always decorate the window with painted eggs and chicks etc, there are alot of kids living around me and they love to see it. I buy more easter eggs for everyone else's kids than enough too but its fun and kids were put on this earth to be spoilt once in a while weren't they?
Barney was born on Good Friday so I always joke that everyone else got a visit from the Easter Bunny and I got the Easter Barney.. he never tires of hearing that and I love seeing that big satisfied smile on his face when he hears it again. This year is the first time his birthday has fallen on Good Friday again so we have to do something very special to celebrate I think. Especially as he turns 11, double one and he is excited about it. I haven't put too much thought into it yet but we WILL have a family day out somewhere fun, might take them to France for the day or something.. I'll let you know!
First of all I have to get through a marathon pancake making session on tuesday night, it's usually about 3 pints of batter and I don't even eat that stuff! Kids!

For anyone who is not that familiar with Passover I believe that it was actually the Last Supper.
Minus of course the Matzoh Brei which you have to try and the Philadelphia whipped cream cheese loaded up on a piece of matzoh.
I don't think they had any of that at the table.

hey....... isn’t the "ceder" about food..........lots of food, just "kosher Le'Pesah" so we will EAT...... but Ill “pass over the wine” (isn’t it 4 wine glasses as a must, NO beer not kosher), and don’t like the "gefillte Fish", will try as main dish this time Lamb, will you forgive me if ill ignore the “Hagada”, and go straight to the food……or just let the little one sing “Ma Nishtana” and then hit the food. For the Matzo, well I get problems with my indegestion.....and all that "comes out" is "dust"

Seder translates as meaning Order.
It is a meal that has a specific order of tradition.
Much like a Jewish prayer book is called a Siddur.
This has the same root.
The last supper was a Seder.
The traditions of Seder essentially tell the story of the Jewish peoples exodus from Egypt.

Charlton Heston as Moses
LET MY PEOPLE GO The Ten Commandments
Starring Gina Lolabrigida
Edward G. Robinson
Yul Brenner as the Pharoah
and a host of others.
As moses came down from Mount Sinai with the Tablets he found his people fornicating and consumming large amounts of alchohol. Basically having orgies all over the place in the desert.
So Charlton Heston smashed the Ten Commandments and became the head of the National Rifle Association. Or was that after Ben Hur?
