Well, I guess you're right. Someone else from the list sent me a side-note
offlist and explained me why they are having Thanksgiving in Northern
America. The motivation is similar (thanking God for food), but the article
"Erntedankfest" at de.wikipedia.org says that both "versions" of this
holiday are not directly related. So we did not "import" the US' Thanksgiving.
