拼音
English
Friendsgiving, as the name suggests, is a celebration of Thanksgiving with friends. It originated in the United States and has become increasingly popular in recent years. Since traditional Thanksgiving is typically celebrated with family, and many young Americans work or live far from home, Friendsgiving offers them a chance to share the spirit and food of Thanksgiving with their friends.
Friendsgiving gatherings vary widely, from simple home-cooked meals to elaborate parties. Some groups of friends rotate hosting Friendsgiving, so everyone has a chance to be the host; others may opt to celebrate at a restaurant or other public venue. Typically, Friendsgiving features traditional Thanksgiving fare such as turkey, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie. However, friends often add dishes to reflect their personal preferences.
The popularity of Friendsgiving reflects, on the one hand, a reinterpretation of traditional holidays by young Americans who place a high value on maintaining relationships. On the other hand, it showcases the diverse nature of American society, allowing people to celebrate holidays in different ways. Friendsgiving also offers a sense of belonging to those far from home. It's more than just a meal; it's an expression of emotion, a valuing of friendship. In the fast-paced American society, such a warm gathering is incredibly precious.
