Has anyone else ever heard of a Friendsgiving dinner instead of Thanksgiving dinner?

[sage2021]

A friend of mine is cooking today because she is going to a Friendsgiving dinner tonight.
I have never heard of that before but it sounds like a great idea to me.

Friendsgiving day is for people who might not have a family to have Thanksgiving together. So, they get together with their friends and have Friendsgiving day.

Friendsgiving is Thanksgiving & yes I have heard of Friendsgiving & for all the people who don’t have family or they’re unable to be with family on Thanksgiving those individuals can enjoy that day & food with friends instead.

As for me I’m having Worksgiving this year & although my employer was nice enough to force all shifts my shift already planned to have a Thanksgiving dinner.

Since when does it take a holiday to have your friends over for a friendly get together?
If Friends days would occur more often. The world could be a better place.

@sage2021. Thank you for the MHO! Hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

ours is “Fansgiving” this is our clan.
we also invite any of our friends who are alone. We don’t like to see people alone during holidays.

I never heard of it before either. I like the idea though!

I like the idea but maybe having it in March or April because we are overloaded with events in November an December. March and April is when we hibernate and don't see our friends. Summer is also a busy time. I get annoyed at having to go to a wedding in the summer.

I heard a lot of people in their twenties do that (I’m only 18 and still have Thanksgiving with my family)

Just did one last night. Great times

No it’s not Thanksgiving you can’t replace Thanksgiving

Friends giving is actually a pretty good idea since a lot of people don't have a family, but they do have friends. This only means that they are going to be able to have a Thanksgiving dinner with their friends.
Don't get so uptight about it!

I only have one sister left. I’ll be alone at Denny’s for Thanksgiving.

My friends have moved away

[MannMitAntworten]

I have. First time was in my early 20’s.

[CarolinaGirl5]

Yes having one this year

[Dargil]

Not until now.

[Pete671]

Great idea!, never heard of it before,,,

[art84]

Never heard of friends giving before.

[FunkyMonkee]

Nope!

[FunkyMonkee]

What if we don't have any friends, either? All I've got are bunnies in the yard and they don't know how to cook a turkey.

[Dongie]

Nope!

Update: That's nice, Sage. I need some of those. You need friends without family, and I don't have any. I have family, but they do their own thing. I have an ex-aunt who spent last Thanksgiving with me.

@Dongie
Like they say - you can't pick your family but you can pick your friends 😉

[Dongie]

That saying has occurred to me lately. I have a niece as sweet as pie, but she's married, and they go to his grandparents.
