Hmmm...does any country on the Equator celebrate "Thanksgiving"?
Halloween is a bit more general, but even then...oceans away...dozens of 'em...

Neither Thanksgiving nor Halloween are Swedish holidays. Nevertheless, for some years now, people have celebrated Halloween here in Sweden. There has been talk about Thanksgiving as well (probably mostly because the shops want to up their income). It hasn't struck yet, but I'm sure it will. People here will take ANY opportunity to get pissed out of their minds (That is not what thanksgiving is about of course, but that's they way it would be celebrated here). We don't eat a lot of turkey either, so God only knows what the trade wants to substitute that with?!?!?
Personally, I don't care about either holiday. I'll get drunk any day I choose, without a reason... I'm Danish, I can do that! 
So they COULD (theoretically) celebrate Thanksgiving on the Equator...

I'm not sure your argument fully holds water: yes, Sweden could begin celebrating Thanksgiving (but "thanks for what?" I have to wonder) but... it's not exactly on the Equator, is it? IIRC from my one and only trip nearby (Oslo - lovely city, but not-quite-in-Sweden I know) proximity to Equatorial climes was not high on its many sterling qualities.
Oh, hang on, I forgot a trip to Finland (also not-quite-in-Sweden but very full of non-tropical trees and some very nice people).

No, my argument was: If it can happen in Sweden. surely it can happen on the Equator as well...?!?! Surely it has nothing to do with climate???

I dunno...many of the equatorial countries tend to be rather more "anti-America" than the northern ones...

Not even the Unicode emoji has a dedicated "gin" glyph. Other than beer and wine, your only options are:

Correction: Smörgåstårta
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Good heavens, I hope not. That's another Swedish tradition I can't stand.
But it would actually make sense in some twisted way:
"Smörgås", which means sandwich literally (and strangely) translates to "goose with butter" - and a goose is as fowl as any turkey, I guess...
