Ideally I celebrate both Mabon and Thanksgiving; Mabon is more personal, whereas Thanksgiving is more social.
My year ends at Samhain; I'll do Yule or Christmas if invited (and will participate in Yule if it seems like an observance and not just a get-together), but for me the period of November-December-January sort of exists in what I call "Exocyclical time." The year properly begins, so my thinking goes, on Chinese New Year, and the in-between times are a weird sort of alternate reality.
