FWIW, virtually every country has some sort of Thanksgiving or harvest fest. For example, the Germans have Erntedankfest (Ernte = harvest, dank = thanks, fest = fest). They don't surround it with all the gauzy pseudo-wonderfulness that characterizes many of our holidays. Sometimes I think we've subcontracted out all our holidays to Madison Ave. and Hallmark.
