I guess you could do something like this:

var holidays = {
  'thanksgiving day': {
    foo: 'foo'
  }
};

holidays.thanksgiving = holidays['t-day'] = holidays['thanksgiving day'];

If you see yourself doing this often or you have more values consider this pattern:

'thanksgiving, t-day, thanks, thank, thank u'.split(',').forEach(function(key) {
  holidays[key] = holidays['thanksgiving day'];
});

A better approach would be to process your data beforehand instead of adding duplicates.
