What are your plans for Thanksgiving? Are you spending it with family in a traditional Thanksgiving or are you spending it with friends in what's known as Friendsgiving?
To find out what folks are doing this year, Skout, a social networking/dating app and website, conducted a survey of 1,300 adults earlier this month. Here are some highlights:
• What you call it: Only 11 percent of those age 18 to 29 plan to have Friendsgiving this year, but 18 percent of adults age 30 to 39 plan to do so.
• Bring your own. Forty-four percent plan to make Thanksgiving potluck.
• Liar, liar. Fifty-nine percent of men admit they've bought a dish at the store, then passed it off as homemade.
• Talk to the hand. At 46 percent, "awkward conversations" was top of the list when asked what is most likely to ruin Thanksgiving, but 37 percent say a poorly cooked meal can wreck things.
• No shopping. Seventy-seven percent age 18 to 39 say retail stores should not be open on Thanksgiving Day so employees can be with friends and family.
• Football rules - but it's a close score - with 53 percent saying they plan to tune in to NFL games on Thanksgiving, but 47 percent saying they can find better things to do.
• Hanging out. Spending time with friends and family is the best part of Thanksgiving for 61 percent.
