The origin of Thanksgiving is tied back to new settlers and their American Indian allies celebrating a war victory over a rival tribe. Nevertheless, we put more focus on this holiday than other holidays like Veteran's Day or Labor Day. It is likely because of the commercial focus. The same reason why Valentines Day envolves greeting cards and candy.
Regardless of the origins or commercialism of the holiday, it is all worth it if we take the time to be grateful for all the things that we normally overlook. Our world is quickly changing, and the things we enjoy today may shortly be gone. This Thanksgiving, make sure you take the time to look around you and appreciate all the wonderful things you have. From indoor plumbing to simple employment. We take for granted hundreds of things every day, but not this Thanksgiving.
Be smart and thrive.
