Why isn't Thanksgiving celebrated on a Friday instead of Thursday?
President George Washington proclaimed the first national day of thanksgiving in 1789, but it was president Abraham Lincoln who officially declared the last Thursday in November Thanksgiving, beginning in 1863. It was during the Civil War, and Lincoln's proclamation advised people to make this holiday a special time for family, religion, and community. Much later, President Franklin Roosevelt moved Thanksgiving to the third Thursday of November to create a longer Christmas shopping season. But in 1941, Congress made Thanksgiving fall on the fourth Thursday in November, and it's been that way ever since!
Does thanksgiving ever fall on November 29?
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.
What woman author helped make thanksgiving a national holiday?
Sarah Josepha Hale was an author who wrote to congressmen for 40 years, working to make the holiday happen. She heavily influenced Lincoln's decision to establish an official Thanksgiving holiday in 1863. It was first celebrated on the last Thursday in November, but later, under president Franklin Roosevelt, it was changed to the fourth Thursday. This makes a difference in the years where there are 5 Thursdays in November (which happens every six years).

Two Presidents actually: Lincoln in 1865 and later Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1939 through 1941, when it became set by law.In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving Day as the final Thursday in November. This was followed by annual proclamations by other Presidents until 1939, when November had five Thursdays. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in specifying "the second to last Thursday" adopted a precedent that he tried to carry over to 1940. This was opposed by many, and Congress passed two resolutions, the final one signed by FDR on December 26, 1941, firmly establishing the 4th Thursday date.
