I give thanks to my parents on Thanksgiving, but only because I thank them for buying and preparing the food.
Thanksgiving never makes me feel particularly thankful about anything and I don't feel guilty about it. I am thankful every day for my family, job, etc, why would I feel the need to be extra thankful just because it's the last Thursday of November?

I think the Pilgrims and other founders of our nation who sacrificed so we could have all our blessings and a nice meal would be happy to know you enjoy your Thanksgiving food.
That said maybe after you have eaten all you want take a moment to be thankful that we're not torn up by war like Iraq, or starving like some countries in Africa, or suffering under some cruel dictator.
It doesn't take much time to remember, and just feel gratitude, because our ancestors worked, sacrificed and died for us to be able to live as good as we do now.

Thanksgiving is NOT just about food. Don't you even give thanks for being alive? Maybe you should.
