Why not see if you can go to one of her classmate’s homes? I understand COVID makes that difficult, but after the pandemic ends that would be a better way of learning about it, than trying to do something you’re not familiar with.[/quote]
Even without a pandemic, it takes chutzpah to ask if your Christian family can attend someone’s Seder. Lots of people wouldn’t mind, but some would.[/quote]
Exactly. "See if you can go" = "invite yourself."

For Orthodox Jews and for many non-Orthodox Jews, Passover requires a lot of preparation and very deliberate food budgeting because so many of the usual foods are off limits and it is best to buy food ahead of time. Also, for many it is an extended family occasion where people are getting to see relatives once or twice a year that they don't regularly see and many people are hosting sleepover guests (maybe less now during COVID).  Also, this year Passover starts on Saturday night, which means many people will need to have their preparations done today and have had their shopping done for days already. Adding two more adults to a seder (the little kid doesn't really count) on zero days notice is not something I would advise PP to ask of even a close friend unless it was an emergency, and certainly not just out of curiosity.

But I think the non-Jewish PP should feel free to do your own seder type thing based on what your child is learning at preschool. Or you could attend a virtual seder that is open to all, as many probably are.[/quote]
