Probably because certain folks would rather pretend that the primary significance of Thanksgiving is that it's a great opportunity to dress their children up in silly clothes.
Here's a thought: Kids don't care. At 5 years old, kids will do whatever you tell them for whatever fucking reason you give. You could dress them up as zombies and humans and tell them that they're celebrating the truce that ended the Great Zombie War and it would have the same effect on them. It might probably be just about as accurate a reflection of reality.
I think its interesting how quick folks are to overreact to something like this, especially since their main complaint is that the something is an overreaction.
