I love it! I've been saying for years that the best hotel in the world is your own home. Let's see, a week away in a hotel at about $$1200 and up per person, times five in the family. Do you have any idea how much cleaning help you can buy for a fraction of that amount? How much fun you could have on Chol HaMoed for a fraction of that amount? A no-brainer for me.
My adopted families do have nice seders, however they don't generally throw the makos around the table, and they don't have Nana. Also, during other peoples Seders my sister and I don't get to sneak into the kitchen and grab chocolate from the freezer!
And what if someone's family doesn't keep Pesach the same way that they do?

ReplyDeleteFair enough (but I don't think those families would be headed to resorts for Pesach anyway:)
In my experience, Pesach is one of the toughest times to be BT. My family has the rockingest Seders. :(
ReplyDeleteThat does Rock!

ReplyDeleteI think your adopted families have cool seders, too, huh? :)
