Several years ago, a few days before Pesach, I went out to eat (didn’t want to ruin all my hard work in the kitchen) and ran into a woman I know. While we were discussing our Pesach plans, she mentioned that she was spending it with her parents, and was a bit disappointed.
“I was really looking forward this year to doing it the [edited] way, really suffering. But my mom can’t live without her [don’t remember the brand] cakes.”
I thought she really had the wrong idea there. If Pesach is about suffering, where is the simchas yom tov?
