That reminds me of when my best friend invited me to her house for Seder a few years in a row when I was in middle/high school. It was me (a Christian), her and her family, and some family friends, including an African-American convert to Judaism (via marriage), a rabbi, and a whole slew of Taiwanese exchange students (like, 15 of them). They had one or two students staying at their house but they invited the whole program.
One part I really liked was the place setting. I went over early to help set up, and my friend's dad is kind of a stickler when it comes to Jewish tradition, and he had to have the place settings just so, with everything in the right spot.
But then he pulled out a bunch of chopsticks, and set one at each spot. =3
It was just neat, getting to take part in all of their traditions.
