Eh. Personally, i've never really cared about Thanksgiving. It's never been an ordeal or anything special. There has not been a single time in my life where it's been a huge family gathering with people flying in across the continent. I've never had to sit down and wait for a gigantic meal to be prepared by my mom or another relative.
We've always just attended a buffet at some place. It's never been a big deal. The Marriott, Red Mile, etc. Just a simple buffet where all the food is ready for us to eat and then we head home. Just me and my parents, not really anyone else.
The reason for this is probably the relations we have with my extended family. My dad's family is spread out very far, from California to Vermont. It'd be unfeasible to meet up every year just for a meal. And my mom's family... I don't care to associate with. With no real family ties to the holiday, it's just a nice meal. And why spend an entire day cooking for just 3 people when a buffet can serve that purpose better?
