*sigh* I have several strong opinions about Thanksgiving, however I'd probably offend a few people by stating them. For me, it's more of a commemoration of the Natives who the early Puritan pilgrims stabbed in the back.
Luckily, my religion has two thanksgiving harvest holidays in the late summer/early fall.

I don't think Thanksgiving is America's favorite holiday. Christmas is.

Yeah, belly aches from over-eating, family fights, all those dirty dishes. Not MY favorite holiday. I like Memorial Day - spring is here, summer on the way - all those flowers. Now THAT's a holiday.

Parades???
Do people actually watch those things? I thought they were just to get us to turn off our TVs once a year.
