✨ If you’ve found that being around your biological family is draining, this season can still be full of warmth, care, and connection. Chosen family offers a different kind of gathering, one rooted in comfort and community.
Friendsgiving isn’t just a trend; it’s become a grounded and welcoming tradition for so many, whether it’s a get-together on its own or alongside a family gathering. In fact, one poll found that more than 68% of young people prefer a Friendsgiving. Surrounding yourself with like-minded people can be healing, especially when family gatherings feel complicated, heavy, or even unsafe.
Choosing who you sit with, who you laugh with, who you share food with, and who you let into your world can make the holidays feel gentler. It’s a reminder that you’re allowed to build a holiday that supports your well-being. 🧡✨
