Big gathering for us. 30-40. My Mom passed away almost two years ago, she would rain down lightning bolts from Heaven if we didn't gather as a family.

We will be gathering, but having a small family there will only be 6 adults and 2 grandchildren. Our daughter and SIL will are going to his parents house. I would like to go to my brothers house to see him and his family but he is 6 years older than me, I would hate to take the Covid to him and his family. We will just gather there after this stuff clears out, if ever. It'll clear out. Just gotta stay positive.

The word “Friendsgiving” is what’s wrong with the world nowadays. It’s called THANKSGIVING!!! It is a holiday. It isn’t up for interpretation or modification. You are correct. I had to backtrack through this to see who used the term Friendsgiving. That is like calling Christmas "Tree Festival Day". You guys are ridiculous. The point is we are having friends over and not family because we have zero family within 1000 miles of here. Both my wife and I have parents who probably would not survive COVID. Trust me, I'd much rather have Thanksgiving with my actual family like most of you get to, but since that's not an option this year, we are doing the next best thing and having some friends over. I'm making light of the fact I won't get to see my family this holiday season with my word choice of Friendsgiving. If it helps any of you sleep better at night when we invited the friends over, we asked if they would like to join us for Thanksgiving dinner. Take a chill pill.

Reading this post as my elderly (over 75) Wife asked me if buying a turkey leg and breast plus containers of the rest of the meal from Brookshires.
They forgot to memtion this to me when I was younger. PLEASE, enjoy where and when you can. We all are, have or have had Parents.

Thanks for the clarification. I am now consuming mass quantities of chil pills.

I voted no because tbe big gathering to the close to 50 annual friends and family one is canceled. My daughter and SIL are coming from Dallas and niece, nephew and his girlfriend, brother and SIL are all local and are doing a small one at their house. Hope to get the daughter and new SIL on a whitetail 2 while they are here.

We are having about 15 family members at our home. They are coming from Lubbock, Ft Worth, Robert Lee, and San Angelo. I had purchased a ticket for my 85 yr old Dad to fly down and join us but decided to cancel his flight after speaking with him. It wasn't an easy decision, but I believe the correct one at this time due the risk.

We are having Thanksgiving Dinner today as my son has to work next weekend. 19 lb turkey just went in the oven and son is still sitting in the blind waiting for something worth shooting. I will likely gain some hefty weight! lol Chocolate Meringue, Pecan, and pumpkin pies! whew
