Best Answer

Every year the day moves forward once. For example: If your birthday is on Monday the 18th July, next year it will be Tuesday. Thanksgiving will stay the same date but not the day.

If thanksgiving is always on a certain day of a month, one year it may be the 17th and the next the 18th but will always be the same day. E.g. Monday 17th 2002, Monday 18th 2003.

The federal mandate is for thanksgiving to be on the fourth Thursday of November, not on any particular date.
