Nothing beats a good old fashioned game night. We're talking Scrabble, Twister, and the sometimes awful but always awesome Cards Against Humanity.
Spending your Friendsgiving huddles around a deck of cards
-
or a board game is a great way to pass the time, bring out your competitive nature, and keep the laughs coming for hours.

Our favorite group of "Friends" were definitely onto something with the annual Gellar Cup. Instead of watching football on tv all day, get your hands (and your clothes) dirty with
-
a friendly game of touch football.
Enjoy one of America's favorite pastimes during America's favorite holiday!

You're probably familiar with the concept of a potluck, especially since so many families do Thanksgiving potluck style. But if your friend group is a bit burnt out on turkey, stuffing,
-
and green bean casserole, get everyone to bring their favorite dessert to the party instead.
Getting to gorge yourself on tons of delicious sweets will be celebration enough.

This may be a thing your friends do on a normal Friday night but it is still a great option for a Friendsgiving celebration.
Between work, school, traveling, and family time,
-
it is very likely that your crew is super exhausted by the time you guys are able to get together. Throw on your PJ's, grab some popcorn and pizza, and
-
put on a few of your favorite movies. There's nothing wrong with being lazy every once in a while.
-
-
Sure, just sitting around and talking about the things you're happy about isn't an activity that would last long enough for an entire celebration but you can definitely make a
-
game or two out of it. As long as you remember everything and everyone you're thankful to have in your life, how you choose to acknowledge it isn't as important.

Organize a mini clothes drive, volunteer at a soup kitchen, make and give out meals to people in and around your community. Gather as a group to give back to people
-
less fortunate during the holiday season.
Charity organizations need all the help they can get during this time. Giving back with your best friends will be a fantastic bonding experience and
-
an even better gift to the world.

-
Channel your inner Bob Ross or Picasso and be artistic during your Friendsgiving celebration. Drink a little wine if you're old enough, or plenty of grape juice if you aren't,
-
and create something beautiful.
Even if you don't think of yourself as being particularly artistic, you'll definitely have something to laugh about later.

Let's face it, just about everyone is a little strapped for cash during the holiday season, which makes Secret Santa a great option for large friend groups.
Have everyone place their
-
name into a hat, then get everyone to draw a name from the same hat. Set a price limit and go nuts! That way everyone gets a great gift specifically
-
catered to their interest and no one goes broke.
Turn the entire thing into an event with a nice meal and tons of laughter.
While the word is pretty self-explanatory, Friendsgiving refers to the act of spending Thanksgiving with one's friends.
The term is a pretty loose reference to a Thanksgiving celebration revolved around the concept of love, friendship, and fun. Whether the group decides to have a huge feast, play a game of football, or do something equally as cool totally depends on them.
