No need to exchange pleasantries with crazy Aunt Gertrude and creepy Uncle Charlie over green bean casserole. We will do that next week on the actual holiday. But in advance of Thanksgiving, all of us will gather around the dinnah table to break bread with each other. The host makes the turkey and each member of our book club brings a bottle of wine and a favorite family Thanksgiving side dish to share. Everybody signs up in advance so we don't have 10 bowls of mashed taters. The selection of vittles last year was absolutely incredible and I'm so looking forward to Friendsgiving this week.
So folks, if you need to break away from the madness, why not organize a Friendsgiving of your own? It's cheap, easy, and best of all, your stomach won't just hurt from eating all of that delicious food, it will hurt from rip' roarin' belly laughs. Now that is somethin' to be thankful for!
A bottle of wine each? Now that must be a fun gathering!
ReplyDeleteWe've had Thanksgiving with friends rather than family many times. It does make the occasion a whole lot more fun.
Oh yea, our book club can drink anybody under the table!
DeleteSounds like a great idea indeed. I'd need friends first though hahaha
ReplyDeleteCome join our friendsgiving. I promise you lots of laughs!
DeleteWhat a marvelous idea!
ReplyDeleteIt really is wonderful.
Deletewhere do we sign up for such friends?
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome anytime Dezzy!
DeleteI love a good Friendsgiving. Ours usually involves beer instead of wine, but it still leads to the same end result. An end result that is still more pleasant than listening to my racist uncle's thoughts on Obama while eating some of that awful green bean casserole (Why do people make that? It's just NEVER good).
ReplyDeleteHahaha yea we try not to talk about the heavy stuff. Usually we end up discussing sex and we always come away learning something interesting about sex. Maybe we should rename it to Sexgiving?
DeleteWhat a great idea! I wish I lived closer, so I can be a part of your friendsgiving. I can only imagine how much fun it is.
ReplyDeleteYes, it sounds fun and relaxing.
DeleteI used to have a Friendsgiving many years ago when my friends and myself were still single. Now we're married and all have families to drive all over to.
ReplyDeletehave fun sweet friend!! I wish I could join you.
My sister-in-law invited us all over to her thanksgiving but we have to bring a dish. I really want to set up a prank where everybody brings the same item.
ReplyDeleteWell, none of my friends actually live where I live. That makes it a little difficult.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! If only my friends didn't all live in various other states.
ReplyDeleteDamned fine idea wonder woman! I am, unfortunately, geographically isolated, but I am always with them in spirit.
ReplyDeleteWish I could join yours. It seems my local friends have families to visit with. What's wrong with them?! Friends are better.
ReplyDeleteFirst time commenter here! Sounds like a great time. I've never hosted a friendsgiving but you make it sound like a blast! I might give it a try :-)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a good time!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving this idea!! Enjoy...hopefully you all finish all of that wine. Haha
ReplyDeleteHow nice!!! Enjoy!!!
