      Right so Thanksgiving was (and is) a European Christian thing, and in the US there's a different back story for it.

      Is thanksgiving a secular ordeal in the States?

        More or less. It serves as a crossover harvest celebration/"family day" sort of holiday in practice.

        Absolute death if you work in grocery retail though.

        It is in as much as anything is over here; it's steeped in that peculiar brand of non-denominational manifest destiny civil religion.
