Trust the millennials to come up with a cool, new take on tradition. Now, Thanksgiving is also being celebrated as “Friendsgiving<\/strong>“! With family members living so far apart, it\u2019s often not possible to make the trip back home for just a day. If this sounds like your dilemma, why not mark the holiday with close friends, dorm mates or work colleagues, and celebrate your gratitude with them?<\/p>\n

No time (or talent) to serve a grand feast with fancy decorations? That\u2019s okay. Grab some handy ideas from these 5 posts we found this week. And throw a simple, yet chic affair!<\/p>\n

Host a Friendsgiving Bash with Ease!<\/h2>\n

\"Ideas<\/p>\n

1 – Sending out invitations<\/strong> will give even a casual, at-home gathering that special air of excitement. Love the playful font and graphics in this one by Designs by Jolene<\/a>, finished with a kraft paper band and twine.<\/p>\n

2 – Sneak in the \u201cspirits\u201d in the sweets! That\u2019s the surprise in these Caramel Apple Moonshine Jelly Shots<\/strong>, from Tablespoon<\/a> (this post has this recipe and lots more for Friendsgiving).<\/p>\n

3 – A perfect dessert choice for your cozy get-together would be a bundt cake. Easy to home bake, especially with a recipe like this from Melissa Creates<\/a>: Bundt Cake with Cream Cheese Drizzle<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

4 – If you\u2019re no kitchen whiz, why not pick a delicious looking Thanksgiving turkey recipe and make it a \u201cFriendsgiving\u201d cook fest along with the gang? This Citrus Roasted Turkey<\/strong> from Out of the Weeds<\/a> sounds so good!<\/p>\n

5 – Make the occasion extra meaningful with a donation to causes like No Kid Hungry<\/a>. Or start a Friendsgiving fund or campaign<\/strong> that you can continue each November.<\/p>\n

While you may be missing your own family this Thanksgiving, one post referred to dear friends as \u201cchosen family.\u201d So true! Have a warm and wonderful Friendsgiving!
