We don't celebrate that holiday in our country.
It is easy to forget when you travel that the wider world does not always know about your country's traditions. It is fine to use the above phrases to explain that to someone when they ask about whether it is celebrated or not - or if a visitor to your country assumes that it is a known celebration.
You will not cause offence by using the above phrases.
Thanks giving is just one of the many holidays , we don't celebrate in Japan
