Zissen
Well it looks like this year will be one without a seder for me. I tried to find one to attend for tonight, but was unable to find one that was a combination of close, cheap and the type of seder I would want to be at. Another part of the problem is that I didn't really start looking until Sunday, and that made my options few to begin with. In the end I didn't want to end up spending 50 dollars on an event that would have been me with a group of older men, simply reading from the Haggadah's. Family seder's are wonderful because, besides having the entire family around with you, its customized to be what you make it out to be. So if you aren't into everyone reading pages of Hebrew that don't mean anything directly to you, then you don't have to. You can read in English and just sing the songs, or even skip a few of the lesser importance pages and only sing the first 9 verses of Dayenu instead of dragging it on for hours at a time. And of course the meal is always better when you've made the matzah balls yourself. Although I'm definitely used to not being at home for this time of year (I was at school for them all but one of the past four years), its always sad to miss a family event, especially when there is a toddler around who is growing up so fast and is great at entertaining.
