In a bold move, they demanded a $500 deposit from each attendee, promising to return it at the end of the night if politics were kept off the table. But what happens when two family members refuse to pay? Let’s dive into this drama-filled Thanksgiving tale!

A Thanksgiving Showdown: Cash or Clash?
In a bid to keep the peace during the family Thanksgiving dinner, our beachside host came up with a unique solution – a $500 deposit to ensure a politics-free evening. However, when sister Kari and her husband Bob refused to pay, they found themselves uninvited. Despite pleas from the grandparents, our host stood firm. Now, with the holiday looming, the family is divided. Will the deposit demand keep the peace or has it only added fuel to the fire? Let’s see how the internet weighs in on this turkey of a situation.
