Overindulging in Thanksgiving food may be wrong, but being with your family, on a day particularly set aside for giving thanks to the Judeo-Christian GOD, while having NO pagan connotations is good in my book- but some brothers esteem no days higher than any other, and that's fine with me too (not that I am the judge or anything, or what I think matters).

NO verse in the bible directly or indirectly addresses celebrating the birth of the savior..
The verse some thing refers to a Christmas tree really does not.
It's talking about taking a Tree and carving it into the image of false god and then plating them with gold or silver.
Thanksgiving IS commercial. People buy decorations, and lots of food.
Why can't Christmas be a day or a time to be with your family and be thankful for the birth of the savior?
In fact many American's celebrate thanksgiving without any thought of thanking God
