The month between Thanksgiving and Christmas is always my favorite time of the year because it’s all about family and friends and being jolly! Although it has been a lot for me lately and I’ve been mega failing on the friend front. In the past month I went from Lisbon to North Carolina, Cancun, and Boston (where I’m currently reporting from!) with only a few days in between to pack and unpack in NYC. After Boston I go straight to Miami for Art Basel, which means I’ve basically missed every major event in my friends lives over the past 2 months. And that’s probably been the toughest part of the otherwise exciting roller coaster of my life.

That said, there was no way I was going to miss out on hosting a Friendsgiving.  And you know what, I may even host a second one after Thanksgiving! I love to entertain but at the moment my apartment is buried in boxes of packages I haven’t opened yet and suitcases full of clothes that need to be properly unpacked. There isn’t enough cavalry in her majesty’s army to make my apartment presentable but that was no excuse. I’m an American Express Blue Cash Everyday Card Ambassador and since they offer a zero annual fee and back incentives – obvious answer to Friendsgiving was to take everyone to dinner!
