Jehovah's Witnesses object to the religious origins of the celebration.

Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival traditionally associated with giving thanks to God for the harvest. According to Wikipedia the celebration is "historically religious in origin"

It is a pagan celebration and that is why they don't do Christmas, Easter birthdays Halloween etc. Well if you ask me (I'm a Witness) you should be thankful everyday not just one day or the year.

Answer:

Google the origin of Thanksgiving Day. It was said to be a celebration of the harvest . Jehovah's Witnesses would not participate in such a celebration. Many criticize the celebration accusing the United States and European settlers of whitewashing a genocide and injustice against Native Americans.
