Happy Franksgiving. FDR made thanksgiving the second thursday of November in hopes people would do more shopping and stimulate the economy. COngress moved it back.

After 200 years the south may still be steamed about thanksgiving since Abe Lincoln made it a Federal holiday.
The holiday became a bit more universal after WW 2.
