THE TIME OF YEAR WHEN WE SHOW GRATITUDE FOR THE IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN OUR LIVES
Thanksgiving is next Thursday and across America, families will gather together to share a meal, argue about politics, and tweet unsettling things about their relatives. Prior to the traditional family time, however, many will partake in a kind of gathering that's burgeoned in popularity in recent years - "Friendsgiving". A chance to meet up with close friends before holiday obligations get into full swing, it's often a more enjoyable version of the holiday itself, free of travel hassles and family drama.
