My brother and his girlfriend are hosting a Fakesgiving this weekend and I’m not too sure what to bring. What is Fakesgiving you ask? Manny at my lab have wondered.

The best describtion I can come up with is that it’s s celebration of Thanksgiving the weekend before everyone sets out for their respective homes. A Holiday Potluck, if you will. So more or less it’s popular with the young ones who live away from home. A last get together with your friends before the more traditional gathering of the family for food and football.

I’m thinking sushi and red wine. Although I can’t remember the last time I tried some saki. What do you think? The weekend is coming up fast, better move quickly if you would like to have your own Fakesgiving; go forth, eat, socialize, and be merry!
