You can give thanks to any deity; Buddha, Allah, Gaia what have you. That's the beauty of turkey day: no ties. With Christmas, you're pretty much pigeon-holed; what with the name of the Savior in the holiday and all. You'd have to start making up holidays and start resurrecting older ones that really don't mean anything just to fit in. Fit in or stick it to the man, whichever you prefer.
In the overall scheme of things, Thanksgiving is the red-headed step child of major holidays. I mean right after Halloween, and actually before in some cases, Christmas decorations adorn the stores. Not much room for Thanksgiving in that scenario. If the left would promote Thanksgiving as much as they demote Christmas, they could have a pretty good holiday on their hands.
Perhaps then they'd leave Christ in Christmas or at least the Kwan in Kwanzaa.
