Thanksgiving originated with the colonists, but Abraham Lincoln was the first president to celebrate it on one day as a national holiday, in the midst of the Civil War. Franklin Roosevelt fixed the day in November.
I stop to be thankful for all I have, and that for all our problems, we're darn blessed as well. I do have to confess that I love all the cooking madhouse, and football (American football, traditionally played on the day), but I try to have a moment to myself in thanks.
