That one anti-Thanksgiving anon is a dick, but I kind of agree with them? Although I don't think the issue is as black-and-white as they were making it out to be. That is to say, I don't think Thanksgiving is strictly a Christian holiday and can never ever be called secular, but I do think it's disingenuous to pretend that it isn't tied to a specific culture that a lot of non-Christian people (and some Christian people, for that matter) in North America weren't raised with.

My family never celebrated Thanksgiving because it just wasn't part of our culture or our traditions, and I don't appreciate it when people try to explain to me that not celebrating it is wrong or that I was somehow deprived and Thanksgiving is totally secular omg so why won't u celebrate it?!?!

This is something that's happened to me many times throughout my life, and every time I've tried to counter with "we don't celebrate it because it's not part of our culture" I'd get hit back with "But it's part of Canadian culture!!!!!! You're Canadian aren't you?!?!?! Why won't you celebrate Thanksgiving!!!!"

The same thing happens with Christmas to an extent, but with Christmas people are more likely to accept that I don't celebrate it because it's widely acknowledged that Christmas is not a 100% secular holiday. With Thanksgiving though, since its considered secular I'm made to feel like I have no "excuse" for not celebrating it, when honestly, I don't think I should need an excuse. I think it should be enough for me to simply say "I don't want to." But it never is enough. People still get on my case about it.

Well, I think the problem here is that people are being dicks by not accepting your choices. The solution, however, is not to insist that perfectly secular things have to be religious.
