Reply To: Tablecloths on Sukkos

I cover the tables for yom tov because it is yom tov and because women are not mechuyav to eat in the Sukkah and you never know if we will wind up at the table sometime during yom tov. In addition, we never know if it will wind up raining or not during yom tov (which often happens) and the meal goes from outside to inside, Also the lecht goes out and in whether during the meal or after the meal, so we keep the table ready and waiting.
