    Okay, the Catholic religion, they're days of celebration. I'll give you that, but not in many other classical Christian-based religions.

    Thanksgiving isn't about mourning either, otherwise it's not be a day about "Giving Thanks." Unless we want to mourn all the Native Americans that died due to the Europeans, but that's what I do on Columbus Day.
    Giving thanks is a manner of mourning or even fasting.
