Do you celebrate Friendsgiving?

The Urban Dictionary defines Friendsgiving as - The celebration of Thanksgiving dinner with your friends. This usually occurs on the Wednesday before or the Friday after Thanksgiving Day, since Thanksgiving is usually reserved for family gatherings.

Some people are far from family so Friendsgiving is a great alternative.  Others aren't close to family so that is their reason and lastly some of us can't get enough of a great turkey dinner!  The most important parts of Friendsgiving are food and fun so here are some ways to enjoy the celebration.


Ideas for guests

Ideas for Hosts
