It's interesting that the hobbits decided to leave Rivendell during the Enderi, which were likely holidays and a time of celebration for the Elves. The story doesn't mention anything about this holiday, but I could still speculate that the holiday might have played a part in their decision to leave: Maybe they wanted to leave then because the Elvish holiday reminded them of the holidays they were missing at home? Or maybe they decided to leave in the middle of the Enderi since that's how they wanted to remember Rivendell, during a time of festival.
