Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. While it has slowly morphed and been perverted into the day before black Friday (aptly named even if it lacked irony), I've always thought of Thanksgiving as the most incorruptible celebration. It feels like a religious observance but it is as secular and universal as we can get in America - gather with friends and family, eat, and be consciously appreciative of the good things in your life.
