The holiday, of course!
And by "of course", I mean "maybe" ... depending on your affiliation. I tried to cobble together some data off of the interwebs, and it seems like only about a third of the residents in the county "affiliate" in the first place. (Although I'm guessing that a majority of the other two thirds were likely to bite into chocolate bunnies at some point today regardless of the religious overtones to the weekend.)
As to *which* religiously overtoned holiday was celebrated, the numbers still seem to speak to lots and lots of Easter folk ... and a much smaller percentage of Passover peeps ... but, for context, that smaller percentage in the county is the largest percentage of such a classification in the state due to the large numbers of the Jews in the southern Florida environs. (Not that there's anything wrong with that ... it's just that I have a hard time relating to any group who banded together to ban bacon.)
So whether you're chowing down on the Easter ham at your dinner table tonight or you were noshing on the matzo at your Seder last evening ... here's to a happy holiday Sunday to you and yours from me and mine.
