^^^ It's origins are summed up in Fledster's Wiki paste ... but yeah now it's pretty much a paid day or two off for most... a feast with family/friends ... and football.

Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada. Traditionally, it has been a time to give thanks for a bountiful harvest. While it may have been religious in origin, Thanksgiving is now primarily identified as a secular holiday.[1] It is sometimes casually referred to as Turkey Day.
:rolleyes:

Not to start anything on Thanksgiving, but this atheistic point of view and total bullshit. Sure to some, it's just a day to eat turkey and watch football, but most Americans know it's more than just that. To the minority, it's just a ''secular holiday''.

Personally, I know it's more than just eating turkey...

but I will admit, at 8 PM, I'll be watching my New York Jets kicking the Cincinnati Bengals ass in prime time, after giving thanks for my blessings and being stuffed with turkey, corn, apple pie and being with family and friends. :D

LETS GO JETS, BABY!!!
