Friendsgiving in the US
November 24 · Level 5 · #1225 of 2238
Friendsgiving is an unofficial American celebration of friendship: a Thanksgiving-style dinner shared with the people you choose rather than the ones you are related to. The name blends friends and Thanksgiving.
How it is celebrated: guests usually bring a dish each, so the table turns into a potluck of turkey, pies and sides. The dinner is typically held a week or two before or after the real Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving in the US falls on the fourth Thursday of November, and Friendsgiving slots neatly around it, especially for people who spend the main day with their relatives.
