Thanksgiving is a Time for Sharing
At Thanksgiving, families come together to share a feast and, possibly, watch football or plan out Black Friday attack strategies. But for those stuck away from family for the holiday, it can be a lonely time indeed.
Local startup Mealsharing may have the solution. Its Happy ThanksSharing page lists dozens of people around the world -- and many right here in the city -- who are offering to open their home for people to join them this Thursday. The meal may not be turkey -- barbecue in Argentina and biryani in Hydrabad are among the options -- but hopefully the welcoming environment brings a touch of the holiday to the proceedings. To take part, register with the site and then click "Request Meal" for an invitation to the dinner you want to attend. It's free, but Mealsharing suggests guests bring a gift or offer to help cook.
