Am I correct in thinking he should have used "past" instead of "passed"? Or is that a perfectly cromulent sentence?
Passed/past isn't the only grammar error in his sentence.

I would have said "Perhaps we can all get past the big dinner, and look forward to the opportunities for being grateful that lie ahead.
