A special holiday to give thanks and eat food with family is coming up… you guessed it, Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is a holiday that you typically spend with family members and eat turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing. But there’s another fun way you can celebrate Thanksgiving: by having Friendsgiving! Friendsgiving is Thanksgiving, but with friends! Customarily, everyone dresses in sweaters and brings different foods, and it’s a time to be thankful for not just your family, but your friends. Friendsgiving is a great way to express to your friends that you’re thankful for them while enjoying each other’s company.
The word “Friendsgiving” is believed to have originated back in 2007, but the idea of it sparked around 2003. Some people credit the show, Friends, for the idea. No matter how it came to be, it is surely to be celebrated!
Also, for those who cannot see their family members on Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving is a great way to include those of your friends who may be in that situation. Overall, Friendsgiving is a great way to get into the holiday spirit for Thanksgiving!
