Thanksgiving...
Did you know that on this day in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln declared the last Thursday in November Thanksgiving Day? This was until President Franklin D. Roosevelt moved it to the third Thursday of the month in 1939. He did this in order to boost the economy by allowing shoppers more time in between Thanksgiving and Christmas to purchase goods. This was only in effect for a short two years when it was changed to the original fourth Thursday.
