As someone from N.I i have a lot of experience with “holidays” that basically just celebrate colonisation (although i admit these are quite different). In that sense the thanksgiving holiday always rubbed me the wrong way and although some may see these things as family events the direct relation between these holidays and evil acts, make me personally view these holidays as a willingness to be ignorant to avoid any responsibility. Also oppressors making violence the only option for the oppressed so they can further demonise them is unfortunately a tried and true method. (Sorry it’s a bit ranty and might not add too much but maybe a different perspective for some from someone currently in occupied land lol)

Buffy wants to celebrate Thanksgiving because of her nostalgic attachment and reminder of childhood. But, as a part of growing up, is faced that the holiday just isn't the same. There's the reality of what the holiday was built, the arguing, and Buffy having to switch between managing Thanksgiving herself and being a slayer. My favorite part of the episode is the way Buffy excitedly answers the door throughout the episode, like she said she would as a child (I feel like a subconscious part of her might be hoping to see Joyce or her dad; or maybe even her slayer instincts are picking up that Angel is nearby); it feels relatable and melancholic in a way I can't describe.
