If it's the Sunday before Christmas Eve, the Gregg family will be spending the afternoon at the Paradise-Leaman Place Fire Company Hall, eating lunch, catching up with each other and reminiscing.
It's something the family has been doing since the 1950s, though nobody is quite sure exactly what year the tradition started. Some say 1951 and others say 1956.
Back then, about 50 people came to the gathering.
That included the 10 children of George Duffield Gregg and Gladys Elvina Milley Gregg, the couple that started it all, along with their growing families.
"We started coming here because nobody had a house big enough to fit us all," said Ann Gregg Hartman, 73, one of only three siblings who is still alive.
She, Harold, 71 (the youngest), and Esther Keneagy, 91 (the oldest), were all in attendance Sunday, along with about 125 other family members.
The numbers keep growing.
"Seven babies were born this year," said Kerlee Fox, the daughter of the late Lorraine Gregg, one of the 10 siblings. "I didn't have any trouble knowing who was who until the sixth generation began showing up."
"We have to wear name tags now," added her brother, Duffield Summers Sr.
Kerlee, Duffield and their brother, John Summers, and sister, Sue Schulze, were responsible for this year's party.
Every year, the descendants of one of the 10 siblings host and pay for the party.
"Each family does what they want," Schulze said. "Some cater, some prepare it all. One year, we had four different kinds of lasagna. The only thing set is the date and the location."
Last year's crazy weather forced the family to meet the Sunday after Christmas, but otherwise, nobody remembers the date ever changing.
"We can meet here at the fire hall as long as we don't stop," Duffield said. "If we miss a year, they don't have to invite us back."
Schulze added, "And you don't think any one of the 10 families would want to be the one responsible for that."
Sue Gregg, who was married to the late Harry Gregg, another of the 10 siblings, is the family historian. She's been working on the family tree for 40 years, and keeps track of birthdays and wedding anniversaries in a calendar she sends out to the extended family. It's a big job.
"All 10 of the children survived, married and had children. I believe there was a total of 37 grandchildren," she said.
Almost everyone still lives in Lancaster County, though Ann Harmon Gregg was the one sibling to move out of the area. She lives near Annapolis, Md., and remembers driving to Lancaster in a blizzard when her children were young.
The family also meets in August for a chicken corn soup gathering at someone's home in White Horse. The attendance there is sometimes even larger.
"I think the summer one helps build bonds so, when we come back at Christmas, we want to see how everyone is doing," said Jamie McGinnis, who is the granddaughter of Esther.
McGinnis, 29, who has four children of her own, conceded that she skipped a few years when she was a teenager. They seemed a little boring.
"Then, when I had my own kids, I realized how important family is," she said.
Sue Gregg said she can link more than 7,000 people (including in-laws) to the Gregg family.
"I don't think there are very many families with this many people who've been doing this for so long," she said with a smile. "We have all been blessed with a wonderful family."

Her cause of death: Acute Coronary occlusion,arteriosclertic heart disease. From Cheryl Savage: "I asked my mom if she knew Matthew Seitzer. She said she only knew of him. The story was that she walked into a bar ( of course, where else) and found him having a drink with another woman. She knocked him off the barstool ( can't you just picture that) and then threw his stuff on the porch. Wasn't there an article in a paper about a bar brawl with John Morrow and wife? As far as I knew, none of us ever knew his name which makes it interesting that we have a Matthew Morrow now. Years from now someone is researching their roots they may think Matthew was named afterhis great step-grandfather!!!"19
