Who celebrates Thanksgiving now?
1) People outside the US don't celebrate Thanksgiving, at least not on the fourth Thursday in November. Some countries have their own special days for giving thanks, but the November one is a US holiday. Likewise, people who immigrated to the US recently might not be aware of it and not celebrate it for that reason. 2) Jehovah's Witnesses, for a variety of reasons, don't celebrate Thanksgiving. 3) Some Native Americans don't. It is a holiday that celebrates the Pilgrims surviving their first year in the Americas, and it basically all went downhill for Native Americans from there. Plus the Thanksgiving story that is told in schools is not very accurate. Many Native Americans have a Day of Mourning on Thanksgiving, or celebrate just family and togetherness. 4) A lot of people just don't like the fuss. They are not interested in the historical or religious roots of the holiday, don't watch football, and don't like cooking an unnecessarily fancy meal.
