I don't believe the Philippines could celebrate a "Thanksgiving" like the US.  If I remember correctly, Thanksgiving is a declared Holiday to commemorate the feast and celebration between the early pilgrims or explorers of North America and the native Indians that were originally here.  It wouldn't make sense for the Philippines to copy that Holiday as well unless there was ever a similar feast or celebration recorded in Philippines history.

Thanksgiving Day is traditionally a day when family gather with friends and strangers.  We celebrate what we are thankful for and mostly for the freedom that our forefathers fought so hard for. It is a tradition in my family that after the blessing on the food, everyone gets to say 1 thing they are thankful for and they can't repeat a response that another has already made.  We start with the youngest and move to the oldest. It builds awareness in our family of what we are grateful for.

Thanksgiving is about being thankful for the blessings, the good things, that we have in our life.  We may remember the first Thanksgiving, when settler and native Americans gathered to celebrate success in being able to achieve the ability to survive without starving to death and celebrated together since the groups had worked together, the native Americans having taught the settlers how to subsist here.\n\nAt modern Thanksgivings, people talk about and thank God for the things that are important to them--their families, the ability to have a meal on the table and people they love to share it with in a country where they are able to believe as they choose to.\n\nIt's my favorite holiday of the year.  It's about saying "Thank you" and not "Give me".

Thanksgiving's at my family's old house used to be crazy.  Family members from all over the US would gather in the small farmhouse, cooking dinner, playing football, and reminicse by the fire.  I remember fondly a Thanksgiving eight years ago.  I was stuffing the turkey and my mom was making pumpkin pie.  We didn't have a mixer, so she took out the blender and said "Yeah, you blend" I told her she was crazy and went back to fixing the turkey. My cousin walked in on my mom trying to make pumpkin pie in the blender and said "Ohh la la", out of suprise.  She looked at me with a serious look on her face "Lets sit in front of the fireplace" she said.  Just then, the lights suddently went out.  The phone rang.  It was my cousins. Due to the massive storm that had hit the area, they wouldn't be able to make it. "Bill Bailey won't you please come home", my mom jokingly told my cousins on the phone.  I heard my aunt screaming from the other room at my six year old cousin " you are not going to watch tv as we eat dinner." He responded by having a temper tantrum because he didn't understand power outage.\n\nDespite the power outage, the stove was gas so we were able to have a beautiful candlelight feast without the tv on or cousins watching tv.

Thanksgiving at the White House, 2006\nThis year marks the 59th anniversary of the National Thanksgiving Turkey presentation. Though live Thanksgiving turkeys have been presented intermittently to presidents since the Lincoln administration, the current ceremony dates to 1947, when the first National Thanksgiving Turkey was presented to President Harry Truman.\n\nPresidents traditionally have granted the National Thanksgiving Turkey a "pardon." After the presentation, the National Turkey and its alternate will be taken to Disneyland Resort and Theme Park in Anaheim, California to be a part of the holiday display and where they will stay the remainder of their natural lives. Both the turkeys will serve as honorary Grand Marshals for Disneyland’s annual Thanksgiving Day Parade
