Thanksgiving is defined as a day to express gratitude, especially to God for a safe arrival. The North American pilgrims knew this in 1621 when they held a harvest festival that featured a turkey as the main course of the meal. The North American festival was so successful that it became an annual holiday celebrated every fourth Thursday in the month of November. Since then, America‘s families celebrate Thanksgiving with a sense of thankfulness as the main theme for this traditional holiday.
So, what are you thankful for this year? If you have family and friends, how are you going to prepare to meet them for Thanksgiving dinner? If you’re already very familiar and a frequent arrival at your family or friends' homes, how are you going to be different this year? These are just some of the questions we all think about around the holiday season and they can be the source of great anxiety, nervousness, sadness, and pressure to prove that you are better off than you were before. Luckily, a Just Friends expert is here to help!
Here’s a great Just Friends tip for this Thanksgiving Holiday; hug with both hands and open fists.
The Thanksgiving holiday should be celebrated with family and friends, don’t spend it alone when you can join Just Friends and have a guaranteed friend when you need one. Being lonely or feeling alone is no longer an option when you join Just Friends. Literally, blog and meet new local friends free. That’s it, no catch, just me and you becoming fast friends.
Be punctual- No one likes a late arrival and being on time makes you feel interested and it also provides some extra buffer time to relax and take in the Thanksgiving environment that you are in.
Bring a gift for the host- Be grateful and show your thankfulness for the invitation. Something as simple as a Thanksgiving card or a vase of flowers goes a long way.
Participate- Answer questions, smile, laugh when you think something is funny, use icebreaker questions from our Just Friends Thanksgiving Tips.
Know where you've been and where you're headed- Know thyself. Before the Thanksgiving dinner this year, take a few moments to run down a list of your accomplishments since the last Thanksgiving holiday.
Happy Thanksgiving!
