No...........There is a meaning for both. Very important meanings!

No.
1) Thanksgiving is an American and Canadian holiday. I don't know of any other countries that celebrate Thanksgiving.
2) Thanksgiving and Christmas have completely different origins. Thanksgiving started with the pilgrims. Christmas started as a celebration of the Savior's birth (in place OF a pagan holiday).
3) Thanksgiving and Christmas have completely different purposes. Thanksgiving is mostly to give thanks and to eat great food. Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Christ by serving and giving presents.
4) Some people celebrate Thanksgiving but not Christmas (due to their religious beliefs). Thanksgiving is not necessarily a religious holiday. People of any belief can give thanks. Christmas is a religious holiday though. To combine the two holidays would be highly offensive to some people because it would force them to celebrate a holiday in which they don't believe.

No! Why whould you wan to combine both of thses events? Thanksgiving and Christmas are very different. If you went to school they should have told you why Thanksgiving is so imporant and if your a Christan than you should know why Christmas is so important. If you don't I'll give you a hint. Thanksgiving is when the pilgrims thanked the Indains for sharing there food with them. And Chrsitmas that an easy one, take the "mas" off of Christmas and what do you have" You have Christ, Christmas was when Jesus was born.

No you are celebrating 2 different events. Thanksgiving and Christmas are not just about how much food you eat and how many presents you get.

Secret Asian Man, no way there is a special meaning to each of the holidays so lets not damage turkey day too. Thanksgiving is for just that, to give thanks for what we have, our health and the people that are near and dear to us.

I think it's great to take inventory and be thankful for what you have before dashing out for more. But, regarding the two-month party frenzy at the end of each calendar year, I do have friends who say with a grin, "Happy Hallo-Thank-mas!"

No. They have two separate meanings. Who would want to combine them anyway? That's stupid
