In recent years, a new Thanksgiving surrounded by family, someone created Friendsgiving. You still get to have the turkey and dress up the house but instead of celebrating with your family, you celebrate with your friends! If this is your year to host the brilliant new holiday, you’re probably already stressed out about what to cook and which centerpiece to make.
