Do people even celebrate thanksgiving anymore? I feel like after Halloween came it went straight to christmas..Everyone is outside putting up christmas decorations. What happend to thanksgiving ones? If its on a calender then how come we dont celebrate it like before? Isnt this holiday a way for all humans to give thanks for what we have in this world? Then how come we dont do that anymore? How come we only ask and take but never give back? Is this what it has come down to? In the end do we even have a thanksgiving?

This is a good point but the entire idea is flawed in that the only reason why the pilgrims were able to continue survival is the fact that they gave the Indians a plague and took the dead one's land.

Because you can't really mass-market thanksgiving, so the media skips over it and wee as a society ju7st kind of forget about it.
Halloween: you buy lots of candy, costume, and freaky stuff for parties and what not. Lots of money.
Christmas: Big dinner, lots of presents, trees, decorations, etc.
Thanksgiving: ... food?
 
     
 
Commercialization and marketing. Thanksgiving doesn't require gifts for others, just family time and a nice meal. It's not profitable for stores to market a day of giving thanks. They profit over the Day of Gimmee.

My family celebrates Thanksgiving every year. We get together and have the best damn dinner of the whole year.

But really, it's not much of a holiday unless we're given candy or presents. xd

You're kidding, right? I'd love a dozen grenades.

But that's illegal. Criminals don't break laws, how retarded are you?

No. Thanksgiving is normally celebrated on the last Thursday of November and this year it falls on the 26th.

A lot of Native Americans refer to themselves as "Indians". Get over it.
