Happy Thanksgiving

I believe Thanksgiving is essential for our culture. Not as a biological need - who needs 7000 more calories in their diet for a day, but as to prepare people for the next month. The timing of Thanksgiving cannot be more planned out and strategic, because once December hits all hell breaks loose. The holiday rush is on. They even have "Black Friday" the day after Thanksgiving, the best day of sales throughout the year!
The turkey and stuffing isn't to give you the "itis" and let be lazy for a day, it's to get you prepared to go out and fight for that last "Barbie" doll or "Nintendo Wii"! Eating turkey makes people tired for the most part, and most families eat lots and lots of food, maybe even a little alcohol consumption, this fills up people's stomach and sets people up to go to bed at 7 instead of 12 in the morning; allowing people to get the early rise to run to the stores and grab what they can for what the stores call a "low low price". Families stock up on fat so that they go on days without eating what they usually do, while they go run the stores for presents.
There is another reason for Thanksgiving, and as to why it's called Thanks-Giving. Morally people are preparing themselves to become the meanest and ugliest froms of themselves that is socially acceptable. Humanity would not be humane during the holiday rush if it were not for Thanksgiving. People must clean their slate with their conscience, which may be a god or friends and family, before they go out and fight for what they want to get other people. Every year the little ones learn to prepare themselves, and clean their moral slates so they can ask Santa for everything they desire.
The creators of Thanksgiving, whether it be the pilgrims or not, had a plan, possibly not this one, but they decided for good reasons to pick a day to eat a whole lot more, so for the next month they could work longer to give presents to their little ones, passing down the torch until today. We have mutated Thanksgiving to help us culturally to help pass the days of the holiday rush, where people are them worst selves.
