What starts with "F" and best defines Thanksgiving for you?

Festivities: Parades, marching bands, hosts etc.

Floats: including giant balloons, they're part of the festivities, but for me, they deserve a special mention

Food: from the mashed potatoes (with gravy) to the cranberry sauce and the pumpkin pie, if I'm not as stuffed at the end as the turkey was in the beginning, I didn't have a Thanksgiving dinner.

Football: game, pre-game shows, ads, the whole thing...

Family: "over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house we go"

Friends: There's no good Thanksgiving without Friends (1994) (and friends, too).

Foreign: I know Thanksgiving from the movies and TV programs, but I'm afraid it's not part of my culture, not that I wouldn't want to be invited to a celebration though.

Fun: As traditional a holiday as it is, for me Thanksgiving is mostly synonym of fun.

Friday: the Black one, that comes right after, the frenetic start of the Christmas shopping season (yeah, I'm always one step ahead of the others).

F... I mean, considering my social life and/or how I get along with my relatives, I have indeed a word that starts with "F" and that defines how I feel about, well, not just Thanksgiving, but the premise of any holiday as a matter of fact.
