After spending four hours cleaning the oven on Sunday, and lugging boxes upstairs and downstairs, etc., we decided it was time to take a break for some laughter.

TEN SIGNS YOUR SEDER IS TOO BIG

10. You can’t find anywhere out of sight to hide the afikomen.

9. To recline at the table, everyone has to do it in unison.

8. You have to sketch your living room/dining room on graph paper first….

7. You have to use a microscope to divvy up the knaidelach.

6. When you rotate verses of “Echad Mi Yodea?” someone ends up singing, “Who knows 39?”

5. You start looking at ads for closed circuit TVs and auxiliary speakers.

4. While waiting for everyone to wash their hands the second time, the matza rises.

3. Even the kids complain that they do not have enough maror.

2. When you read the list of the Ten Plagues, the word “locusts” really rings a bell.

And the number one way you know your seder is too big………

1. When Elijah shows up, you give him his wine “to go.”
