Thanksgiving is all about Plymouth Rock, the Pilgrims traveling to the what is now the United States and the Native Americans [United States]....so going off that I would guess No, that they don't celebrate it because they have no reason to, it doesn't have anything to do with them, per se.
Side note: The Irish people that came over to become US Citizens, obviously celebrate Thanksgiving, for they were looking for better life and wanted to leave. The Irish would have no reason to celebrate their own leaving for another land.

No, we don't have a comparative holiday to Thanksgiving. And never ever refer to Ireland as being part of the UK, it is the worst insult to Irish people.

no, thanksgiving is an American thing, it's not celebrated at all over here.
Halloween is celebrated but is much less of a big deal than in the states, it's really just something for the very young kids.

No.
Not in October like Canada.
Nor in November like the USA.
We have to go from August to Christmas without a public holiday.

I suppose ex-pat Americans do, but it's not a Brit Festival (we can't even celebrate our Patron Saint's day here), but I always have done since my daughter was a little girl. We tried to celebrate everything except Fast Days!
The Irish celebrate their Saint's Day - St. Patrick, 17th March.

No. And not in Ireland either. Why would we? It's an American thing.
