No particular reason. It just seems like a good time of the year to take time off
from work, get together with family, have some great meals and a lot of wine.
Very much like Christmas and Easter, which are likewise vestiges of ancient
traditions based on historically uncorroborated folklore, and which likewise
have little or no relevance or usefulness in these modern times.
The traditional viewpoint is that it is a specific commandment in the Torah to
remember the Passover, and another specific commandment to tell ones children
about it. There are several reasons for this. However, the primary reason given is
that this is when G-d made and "appearence" so to say in the world which
showed that he was not only the creator of the world, but that he is involved in
the daily workings of the world continuously. This was the event that was the
beginning of the Jewish people as a nation and the giving of the Torah on Mount
Sinai, eventually culminating in the Israelite nation entering and settling in the
land of Canaan (Israel).
