It is every 7 years, but because of the leap years within the 7 years, it adds an extra 2 years for everytime a leap year occurs within the 7 years. The exceptions are 2000, 2028, 2056, 2084, etc. Everytime an exception occurs, that 7 years become 6, making the pattern look like 11, 11, 6, 11, 11, 6, 11, 11, 6. There are two sets of 11 years then 6 years (exception to the rule) hence the pattern. every 28 year is an exception (6). otherwise, 11, 11. So there are two patterns. The 11, 11, 6 sets and the every 7 years + 4yr to create 11 years.

Simple answer: Every 7 years plus 2 years for every leap year that falls withing the 7 years changing the 7 to 11

I was born on November 25th 1971 (Thanksgiving day) as well. There is a pattern, but Jay has just introduced a level of confusion because 2032 will not usher in thanksgiving on November 25th, so there is no 5 years to the pattern. The pattern is simple, it is 11, 11, 6, 11, 11, 6, 11, 11, 6

11 and 6 years. The 6 compensates for the leap year.

So here goes We were born on Nov 25th (1971) (thanksgiving day). A leap year is a year that is evenly divisible by 4, with a few exceptions.

From 1971, the next time thanksgiving should have fallen would have been 1979, but you have to add 2 years everytime a leap year fell between 71 and 79. There were 2 leap years. (1972 and 1976). So you have to add 4 years to the 7 years, resulting in 11 years pushing (1971 to 1982). Then from 1982 to 1989, how many leap years? Another 2 (84 and 88)-years evenly divisible by 4.

So add 4 years to 7 again and 1982 pushes past 1989 to 1993 (1982 + 7yrs +4yrs)= 11yrs 1982 to 1993.

Thanksgiving sometimes falls on the 25th of November. It depends on what year it is. Thanksgiving is always on the fourth Thursday of November. The next year Thanksgiving will be on the 25th of November is 2021.

Thanksgiving is always held on the 4th Thursday of November. Some months have 5 Thursdays, making Thanksgiving "appear" to be very early that year
