For millions of Americans, Thanksgiving is a favorite holiday, the once a year family gathering celebrated with turkey and all the trimmings. But this year a number of people are forgoing the Thanksgiving holiday, instead embracing a new November tradition. Friendsgiving is a twist on the traditional turkey day, a celebration of friends by friends, and it's more popular than ever.
