Staying awake at the Seder

It is a commandment upon a person to make happy his children and the members of his household on the [pilgrimage] festivals. Through what [should he make them happy]? He makes them happy with wine! [As it is written (Psalm 104): "And wine will make happy the heart of man etc."]. Rabbi Yehudah said: [Women] as befits them and minors as befits them.

(9)Rabbi Lazar said, sneak/hide matzah to the children so they won't fall asleep

A person is required to occupy himself with [learning/teaching] the laws of Passover all night, even with his child, even with himself, even with his student.

...The Rabbis taught us: Everyone is obligated in drinking four glasses of wine, be it men, women and children. Rav Yehuda says What use is there if children should drink the four cups of wine? Rather we distribute sweets and nuts at the Seder so that the children won't fall asleep and will ask questions. It was said of Rabbi Akiva that he would hand out sweets and nuts to the children so that they would ask questions and not fall asleep. Rabbi Eliezer taught: we sneak/hide matzahs at the Seder so that the children won't fall asleep... Our Rabbis Taught: A person must celebrate with his sons and the members of his household on a festival, as it says (Devarim 16:14) "you shall celebrate on your festivals". What should people celebrate with? with wine! ... Rabbi Yehudah says: Men with what is suitable for them and women with what is suitable for them. ... For men what is suitable - with wine, and what for women? Rabbi Yosef taught In Bavel, buying women colored clothes. In Eretz Yisrael, buying women ironed linen clothes. It was taught: R' Yehuda b. Beteira says: "While the Temple is standing, there is no joy unless there is meat, as it says (Deut. 27) 'And you shall sacrifice peace-offerings and eat them there, and you will be joyful before the Lord, your God'. Now that the Temple is not standing, there is no joy without wine, as it says (Psalms 104) ' And wine will rejoice the heart of man.'"
