No, Thanksgiving is not a “holy-day.”

Perhaps in the strictest sense you are correct, but it is a wonderful opportunity to give thanks to God our creator and the many blessings we have.

Correct. All Saints Day is a holy day; Christ Mass is a holy day; Easter is a holy day.

Dennis the Little calculated Christ’s birth (inaccurately due to having to rely on Roman Numerals) just to produce an Easter calendar, the most celebrated holy day in Christendom.

What on earth do you mean? It has always been designated for giving thanks to Almighty God. If that’s not holy, I don’t know what is.
