I don’t see why we need a national holiday to remind us to be thankful. If the holiday were to be true to the original time frame it would be celebrated in October, just like Christmas. Christmas should follow the dates of Yom Kippur.
The reason Thanksgiving isn’t a major holiday is because merchants haven’t found a way to commercialize it yet. No matter how bad off we are, there’s always going to be someone worse off…so give thanks for what you have,even if it isn’t much!!!
Yom Kippur is the season of atonement. You can credit Theodore Roosevelt for fixing the last Thursday in November as the Thanksgiving holiday, for the start of the Christmas season.

For the non believers, I recommend reading or watching “The Case for Christ” by Lee Stroble…

I still give thanks—and prepare for a return when there will no longer be room for doubt or denial.

Some peoples are capable of doubt and denial under any circumstances ;P
