With all the discussion about what time we start this year...keep in mind you still have to have finished your afikoman by chatzot (the halachic "midnight"... usually around 12:40 a.m.). So really, the seder should not be ENDING much later than usual, especially for those who are used to a 2nd seder, it should end around the same time. It just means you have to speed through the first part a little, and might be more awake for all the singing at the end (for those who have all that singing at the end). |

I think chatzos is at about 1 a.m. What happens is, the afikomen is gobbled up, then it takes a while to clear off the table, the men might catch a light snooze while reclining on their chairs, some of the little ones are changed into pj's and settled into one of the beds, and it's 1:30 before the seder is resumed... then you still have 2 more kosos, benching, lots of hallel... it ain't over before 3 a.m.... |

We usually end around 12:30. We keep it short and sweet. Nap time starts around Shulchan Aruch mealtime and by nirtzah only the man of the house is awake. It is unbelievable how comfortable a dining room chair becomes at the stroke of midnight. That is with naps, I am just a morning person, what can I say? The only thing that might keep my eyes open is if dh starts singing off key, now that would keep me up :D |

Chatzos should be an hour later this year b/c of changing the clock. And we keep that only on the first night it has to be eaten before chatzos. The second seder can end whenever. For that matter, so can the first, as long as the afikomen has been eaten. <_< |

depends on what time of year it is. When its really early in the secular cal. than seder starts earlier. |

That only works if you HAVE a 2nd seder! With the start time this year, it's like having 2 2nd seders! |
