400 years? This nation isn't that old! This tells me you don't know what Thanksgiving was about in the first place.
I don't know where you're getting this garbage from ...making it up I suppose. And I don't know about you're family, but we still give thanks to God. But I guess atheists have to have someone to thank to give meaning to the holiday.
Thanks for pointing out that 400 years crap! Pure ignorance.

Sigh.
As I posted previously, the first Thanksgiving celebration known to have been held in America took place in 1619, in the Virginia Colony, two years prior to the better-known celebration with the Pilgrims and Indians, in the Plymoth Colony.
2017-1619= 398 years. Mighty close to 400.
Thanksgiving pre-dates the founding of the United States of America in 1776 by over 150 years. That's true of both the Virginia and Plymoth celebrations.
Unless you want to go by the date on which Thanksgiving was declared an official national holiday - by Abraham Lincoln.
Actually, the first Thanksgivings - note plural - took place in Colonial America, long before 1776. The first recorded Thanksgiving in America took place in the Virginia Colony in 1619, 398 years ago. The better known Plymouth Thanksgiving took place in 1621.
I agree that Thanksgiving is traditionally a holiday with both historic and religious aspects, and that most who celebrate it acknowledge both.
I stand corrected. I checked on the date. You are correct.

Throw away nearly 400 years of tradition for Thanksgiving. The holiday is changing. It is now a day to celebrate and thank our dear leader Trump. Before you begin your meal, think of every good thing that occurred over the last year and thank Trump for it. No good thing in America is possible without Trump. He is 100% responsible for all that is good in this nation. Anything bad that occurs is entirely the result of his enemies. May we praise Trump for it is he that makes all possible.
What are smoking?
He is so shallow and if that what your America is, then you need help.
