We do a giant extended family Thanksgiving dinner. Typically we have 80 people.

Most of the people come from my Uncle's family (he had 11 kids who are all married and have at least 3 kids). I've never had a Thanksgiving with just my immediate family. That's why we need to reserve the Church.

I don't like those families that use the church building for thanksgiving.

Playing basketball is the only thing the building should be used for on

So you're bothered because they scheduled it first? Maybe they want to play BB.

People do that?

Generally large families (extended)...and often they'll pay a usage fee.

Happy holidays. Enjoy the day with family and loved ones.

Hi friend. We do it because they're the only place large enough for our family.

You should have thought of that before increasing the surplus population.

My MIL's extended family does it. It's terrible and we always skip it.
