Thanksgiving is the holiday famous for family gatherings (awkward conversations) and loads, heaps, plates, and platters of food. While Grandma bakes her sweet and spiced pumpkin pie, your aunt begins fixing her first bloody mary. You mentally prepare for a lengthy interrogation from your nosy uncle, and Mom gives the turkey an herby massage while Dad looks a bit jealous…
If you need a break from all of the craziness with the relatives, sometimes it’s best to arrange a casual and festive get together with your second family. Enter, “Friendsgiving.”
A time when your best girl and guy friends gather together to play games, snack on fancy cheeses, and of course, recount everyone’s most hilarious memories. While the concept may be new, you can be sure that the traditional over-abundance of food will not be changed. What better time to showoff your culinary flair than Friendsgiving?
