Just to quickly add to Mrs. Appel's post, there is also a more general halachik issue about celebrating Thanksgiving (to Whom are we giving thanks). Here is a very good article on the subject by Rabbi Broyde. For those who want the short version, there are different opinions, but both Rav Moshe Feinstein and the Rav agree that it is OK to celebrate, turkey and all.
Happy Thanksgiving & don't forget to infuse your weekend with a little bit of Torah at the 2nd annual Black Friday Shiur - ...אנו משכימים והם משכימים ... אנו רצים, והם רצים.
