It is in the U.S. - other than the 4th of July - it is the most
important country specific holiday we have, and it celebrates an event
that precedes our independence.

It is also far more of a family holiday than any other save Christmas.

Of course it is kind of sad - the story goes that the Pilgrims would not
have made it through the winter had it not been for the American Indians
- whom we then proceeded to do terrible things to, wiping some peaceful
(and non peaceful) tribes out completely - and virtually destroying
those we didn't wipe out.
