Non-believers, to whom do you give thanks on Thanksgiving?

[Drolefille]

To my friends and family for being who they are.

 

[StormReturns]

And, if it isn't a who, then what?

Or, is it many whos and whats?

Or, don't you give thanks at all?

Honey, I'm hoooooooooome! Agnostic, huh? Didn't see that coming.

Anyway, thanksgiving is an archaic term for gratitude. It doesn't NEED to be directed to an entity, certainly not one you credit with providing the good thing.

A bit old perhaps,

1530s, "the giving of thanks," from thanks (n.) + present participle of give (v.). In the specific sense of "public celebration acknowledging divine favors" thanksgiving dates from 1630s (the first one in America was held October 1621 by Plymouth Colony Pilgrims in appreciation of assistance from members of the Massasoit tribe and celebration of the first harvest); though Thanksgiving Day itself is not attested until 1670s.

but not archaic.

Archaic in the sense that now people ask "who do you thank." But anachronistic works just as well.
