the reason The date of Thanksgiving changes is because the wasy the day is set. Because thnaksgiving is on the fourth thursday of each November, the date will change because the day does not. Like a birthday for example. your birthday might be on a monday this year but a Wednesday next year or the year after. this is because its always the same date. Same thing with thanksgiving but the other way around. thanksgivings day does not change ( the fourth thursday in November) but the date does

Hope i helped!!

Why does the date of Thanksgiving change but not the day?

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.
