So I was watching Clifford the Big Red Dog with my son the other day. Clifford & crew were celebrating some sort of annual autumnal festival day. All the trappings and preparations sounded very similar to something I grew celebrating called Thanksgiving. People were traveling to the homes' of relatives and the centerpiece of the meal was a Turkey. As the characters were discussing the origins of Fall Feast, I was absolutely sure that Thanksgiving had fallen victim to over zealous advocates of political correctness. Before I am accused of being insensitive and ignorant of the plight of our Native American brothers and sisters that is not the case. I have even spent a small amount of time living with the Oglala Souix.
I am simply of the opinion that renaming a holiday that is about being thankful is borderline rediculous.
