I certainly would not disagree with that. I don't think anyone has ever said the Pilgrims came up with the idea. We just point the publicity machine to them. Kind of like Columbus Day which was added because of Catholic lobbying. The tradition of a harvest feast goes back a long way. But I took Nanila's post to refer to the specific Yank version (Canada has one too, in October I believe). I know if I were in her situation, I would find that a nice holiday to celebrate with my non-American family. Of course if I was married to a Canadian, we would fight over the date for the celebration and whether Poutine would be served.
