Thanksgiving Did Not originate in America.
Sorry to burst your bubble but Thanksgiving, the quintessential American holiday, is not actually American. 
It was celebrated in Canada 40 years before we did in the US. 

Data from US Poultry and Egg Association,
Americans consume more than 45 million turkeys on Thanksgiving compared to 22 million at Christmas and 19 on Easter.  Fully half of all whole turkey eaten in the US are consumed on Thanksgiving Day.
Only male turkeys--appropriately named gobblers --actually make the sound. Female turkeys cackle instead.
