We Canadians have our Thanksgiving holiday in October, but the Americans are revving up for theirs this coming Thursday. It almost feels like we get a second Thanksgiving, because all our Canadian stores are having Black Friday Sales and I believe a Cyber-Monday is coming up too.
Businesses may not care about giving God thanks for all their blessings, but they don't want to be left behind a chance to make money on the coat-tails of the USA holidays.
Personally, I think we should be thanking God every day - even all day long. To that end I start my devotional times each morning with a time to thank the LORD, for the big blessings - like Salvation, Eternal LIFE, Adoption into God's Family, and the guidance of the HOLY SPIRIT, etc.
In the evenings when I'm ready to pull my feet into bed, I open my Blessing book, and record every highlight of the day and anything good that happened to me all day long. Often I can't stop until I have at least 10 items in my list. That exercise does wonders for falling asleep with a contented smile on my face.
So don't wait for a holiday on the calendar. Give thanks as often as you can, and if you need help - try to make it a new habit in the mornings and/or also in the evenings.
Both your smiling and your "faith" muscles will grow!
Sunday afternoon I visited a friend, and we were talking about the IQ tests we had taken years ago, but were never told our score.
I took time later to google this, and found that there are quite a lot of websites that help you to take the test (or a) test of your IQ and they will reveal your score to you at the end.
In case this intrigues you, here are a few links to go try.

If you want more, Just google "free IQ test online" and you will get more such sites. Maybe do half a dozen and then average out the scores you get. :)
