If you’re going to have it at your apartment, plan ahead. Nothing is worse than scrambling last minute to the grocery store to find something that you need for the dinner. Make a list the week before and go to the grocery store to get everything you need early. If you get everything down on paper, it not only makes it easier to make sure you get everything but it makes your trip less frantic.
To alleviate a little of the pressure off of the host, have a potluck. Everyone cooks their own dish and brings it together for a big feast. Make it even more interesting by having everyone creating their favorite dish rather than a traditional Thanksgiving dish. You get to enjoy favorites from all of your closest friends while spending time together.
You don’t have to cram 20 friends in your apartment. It can be much easier to get a group together and go out to dinner instead. It takes the pressure off of the host and those cooking the meal. Put the burden on someone else! Mediterranean Grill on N Decatur Road is an awesome and interesting restaurant for a different spin on a Thanksgiving meal. They aren’t offering specific Thanksgiving fare for the holiday but their regular menu is already spectacular. Try the gyro plate (pronounced ‘yee-ro’) or a shish kabob plate for a great alternative to your typical Thanksgiving dinners. Friendsgiving calls for new traditions!
After dinner, bring everyone back to the clubhouse. Watch a flick borrowed from our DVD library and throw it up on the plasma screen. It’s a great way to unwind before the stress of the holidays kicks in.
Going home to spend Thanksgiving with your family is great but it’s more fun to enjoy a dinner with all of your friends that you made with your own hands (or ordered from a restaurant). Do you and your friends have a Friendsgiving tradition?
