When did they replace the name "Thanksgiving" to "Friendsgiving"? Why?

I'm only guessing (so please enlighten me if I'm wrong*) but maybe it's for the same reason that many people say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas"?
It's more inclusive...I like the idea actually. Now if I could just get "into" all that cooking? :rofl:
*I do hope this isn't about the "Urban dictionary" version??? :cool:

it's a millennials thing. alotta broke young peeps can't afford to travel home for Thanksgiving, so we sometimes throw our own dinner party w/ the other friends staying behind in town. i used to do this often when i lived in California. i would only usually be able to afford to buy plane tickets to visit either Thanksgiving or Christmas, not both.

OK, but I did this too when I was in college (Ohio State, early 80's) and we still called it Thanksgiving. So that is what is lost on me as it is still Thanksgiving day.

Well I do hope you find a way to differentiate your intended (& perfectly good) definition from that which comes up in a search (@ Urban Dictionary).
I did NOT think you meant the latter but one never knows? :rolleyes:
