Xmas is a religious holiday and a federal/national holiday so just because thanxgiving is a LEGAL holiday doesn't meant it isn't religious. I think it is religious as people give thanks to the stick boy. Who are they thankful too if not "god"?

Id love to try to sum it up and make it sound like I had all the answers, but I just saw a special on the history channel and it was a real eye opener.
I looked around and found this write-up that does a great job of explaining the details. I hope it helps.

No. Didn't you learn about the pilgrims and the indians? The first thanksgiving?

No. Thanksgiving is a traditional holiday. It has nothing to do with religion. It started back when the Pilgrims wanted to give thanks to the Native American, Squanto. So they set aside a day to give him thanks and have a feast.
