That's every day.

Today we do that, and eat turkey.

Wasn't Thanksgiving a practice before people came to the US? The US now does it, but they didn't start it. I only know it because I'm Dutch and I wanted to see if the Dutchies were somehow involved (because they are way more often than they should be). Here's a source I quickly found but there are many sources on it [1].

There's more to Thanksgiving than only the US.

this always gets brought up, but realistically no one ever cares or brings this up from the perspective of celebrating American origins, but rather just a reminder to be thankful for things in your life that matter to you. I don't see the problem with this

It's a day some people in the US don't have to work so I think that's something worth celebrating

North American natives were exterminating and enslaving each other long before the Europeans got there.

Nobody has anything to be proud of.
