I can't think of a FK Thanksgiving story either. After pondering on why that is I've come up with the following possible reasons/ideas:

1. A present day Thanksgiving story would naturally be set on the Canadian Thanksgiving which is in October. I don't know if that is observed in the same fashion as in the US.

2. Our characters spent a great deal of their time in Europe. I don't know about the customs in other states, in Germany Thanksgiving is no big deal. It's set on the first Sunday in October, not even a holiday. In some rural areas there are parades with floats decorated with pumpkins and hay to give thanks for the harvest. In that context, a flashback story to the origins of Thanksgiving might be interesting.

3. A good timeframe for a traditional US Thanksgiving story might be Nick's Chicago era. Might be interesting to develop a mortal Schanke-like friend who would invite him to celebrate Thanksgiving with his family.

Anyway, happy Thanksgiving to you!
