💡 Did you know? Thanksgiving was originally a harvest festival celebrated on different dates by individual colonies. President Lincoln fixed it for November 26, 1863 (a Thursday). Congress moved it to the 4th Thursday of November in 1941. In 1939-1941, FDR tried to move it to the 3rd Thursday to extend the shopping season — this was very unpopular and repealed in 1941.
