The Bible's pretty clear about giving God thanks and glory. There's no room for argument on that. In fact, there were several feasts of thanksgiving set aside in the laws of Moses.
Thanksgiving Day in the U.S. is a similar idea, and was set aside by President Lincoln as a day to thank God. Just the same, we use the day less as a day of thanksgiving and more as a day of gluttony and indolence.
I've fallen prey to that myself. I made myself so sick one Thanksgiving several years ago that I decided I'd rather not relive the experience. Since then I've been careful with my portion sizes and haven't been as likely to take seconds.
In the celebratory spirit of the day, may we thank God with our words, as well as our actions.
