If you're Jewish today is Purim

Purim is the most festive of Jewish holidays, a time of prizes, noisemakers, costumes and treats. The Festival of Purim commemorates a major victory over oppression and is recounted in the Megillah, the scroll of the story of Esther. Purim takes place on the fourteenth and fifteenth days of Adar, the twelfth month of the Jewish calendar. This year (2005) Purim begins at sundown on the 24th of March.

Everyone dresses up - I dressed as a unicorn... silver shirt, silly hat, and bells. In choir I sat next a jester and the piano player was Merlin. There was singing and silly skits and wine and food.
