Since Thanksgiving is on the fourth Thursday in November, the earliest day it can be on is November 22.
Thanksgiving Day is the fourth Thursday in November. Since sometimes there are five Thursdays in November, Thanksgiving may not be on the last Thursday of the month. The earliest date for Thanksgiving is November 22. The latest date for Thanksgiving is November 28.
November 28th. In the U.S., Thanksgiving has been observed on the fourth Thursday of November since 1941, when Congress established that date. Depending on which year, Thanksgiving may fall anywhere between November 22nd and 28th.
It will never be on November 29th. It can only be on November 22-28. The reason is that since it must be on the 4th Thursday, and a week has 7 day, the 29 would be the 5th Thursday even if the month had that many days.
Thanksgiving in 2012 is Thursday, November 22.

Since the overwhelming population in that time was some form of Protestantism, Lincoln made the day, Thanksgiving, a national holiday.
