Just like Christmas, thanksgiving day has lost all meaning.
Most just believe it is a day for turkey and football, and a time for families to gather.
I do not give any significance to thanksgiving day, because everyday is thanksgiving day to me.
I thank my Lord each and every day for the love and blessings I enjoy in this life.
Meanwhile all the hypocrites sit down one day of the year, say their thankyou's, and return to their daily lives of forgetting just how important giving thanks each and every day actually is.
Tomorrow they get back to doing all the things they usually do, without one thought of where their blessings come from.
Why do most only use one day out of the year to celebrate, and give thanks?
What is wrong with using the other 364 days to give thanks?
Monday Night is for football, and Turkey is dry. Chinese NYE is better. The food is better. No dry food, only moist seafood, chicken, pork, beef, you name it.

Then feel free to be miserable, many enjoy the day that family and friends can come together from all over and have a meal together and catch up. Its sad that your faith values have no tolerance for those that choose to live their lives differently and you just assume that they don't give thanks on the other 364 days.
In a way, I understand OP. I really didn’t grow up celebrating thanksgiving. But the family I married into has given me the closest thing I can think of to a thanksgiving tradition, and it IS nice to spent time with family and reflect on what’s good in life. It’s a good day, something I wouldn’t really have said for the majority of my life, when I just didn’t think about it much one way or the other.

I understand what you're saying, it's disheartening to watch so many people without any appreciation for what we have in this country, and from where all those blessings come from.
I don't have any family close by, no kids etc. So I go to the Thanksgiving dinner put on by the local senior center, catch up with friends I only see a couple times a year, then on Thanksgiving day itself, I usually spend it out walking on my ranch.
Being out in the fresh air with my dog and livestock, I always feel closer to my Creator and his blessings are on full display every day.
I'll take a rifle along, may see a bull Elk, a full freezer is always a cause to celebrate your blessings, and living close to the land, you are reminded every day to be thankful for all you have.
Thanksgiving Day works as a reminder to be thankful for what we have. I think it's normal to need a reminder once in a while as our lives can get so busy and life's problems can be so distracting.
I am stuck home today with the dog because I am sick but I was just thinking: The sun is shining in through the windows, my dog is lying next to me, my houseplants are in full beautiful bloom, and the people from the senior center where I was planning on going, just delivered a nice Thanksgiving dinner for me. Thank you.
Every so often - you have to count your blessings. OP , you woke up, still have lights, still have internet, probably ate something and still have your right mind to complain.

Kind of a judgmental superiority complex you've got going there.
What makes you so sure many other people are hypocrites and aren't thankful in their daily lives just like you?
The people who have no gratitude all year probably don't have any on Thanksgiving, either. I think people are either inclined to be grateful for life's blessings, or they aren't. And maybe it's something that some learn at different points in their journeys.
