You realize they had Thanksgiving badges 2022 and 2021 and probably older? They can just call it "Turkey day" like some others do. There is no reason you can't separate what it is now from it's past.…

Right, they never did. My brain just filled in blanks. They did the other holidays this year though. Maybe cause thanksgiving is "problematic" now? Anyway, at least if they keep up with the other ones they did this year for 2024.

I respect that Garmin chooses to avoid controversy.

Halloween has a dark history as well.
