You can replace Thanksgiving with any new or existing tradition. What do you replace it with? (hexbear.net)

Kinda tired of celebrating genocide every year, so let's imagine a world where you can replace the yearly genocide party with something else. What would you replace it with? What would you call it?

I would just drop the settler colonial narrative and bump the harvest festival up two weeks so it's closer to the midpoint between the September equinox and the winter solstice. The only awkward part is it would be very close to Halloween. Or hell, maybe we should just set the festival on 11/01 with the harvest festival officially starting on Halloween night. I always thought it was bullshit when you had to show up for school the next day after trick-or-treating.
