First: A Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
Now, How would you imagine the CS celebrating their version of "Thanksgiving", What might they center it around?

Maybe the unofficial founding of Chi-town? When settlers first came and reestablished civilization there and had a harvest party.

Though the CS government probably censors the role d-bees played in it's establishment, as well as the role magic users had in providing during the winter.

They probably eat a lot of corn.

Give Thanks to the Emperor and roast a d-bee.

"Trouble rather the Tiger in his Lair,
Than the Sage among his Books,
For all the Empires and Kingdoms,
The Armies and Works that you hold Dear,
Are to him but the Playthings of the Moment,
To be turned over with the Flick of a Finger,
And the Turning of a Page"

I can think of a few holidays the CS would celebrate:

Unification Day (celebration of the founding of the Coalition)
Founding Day (celebration of the founding of Chi-town; likely a local equivalent for different states)
Day of Remembrance (analogous to the US Memorial Day... remembering those who died for the Coalition)
Emperor's Birthday (a holiday celebrating everyone's favorite despot)
Armed Services Day (analogous to US Veteran's Day; thanking those who have or are currently serving).
Thanksgiving (likely commemorating the aftermath of some great battle or calamity, that has morphed into a general 'ain't it great to be a CS State' holiday)

That's six, giving you one every two months.
