The date of Thanksgiving changes every year. It is always on the 4th Sunday, which means dates between the 22nd of November and the 28th of November. The next time it will be on the 25th of November, is in 2021 because between 2014 and 2021 the there is no year where the fourth Thursday of November is the 25th of November. As 2016 is a leap year the 25th of November is skipped that year and it comes round again in 2021. These are the dates from 2014 to 2021 for Thanksgiving in the USA:
Thursday, November 27, 2014
Thursday, November 26, 2015
Thursday, November 24, 2016
Thursday, November 23, 2017

Which president moved Thanksgiving by one week?
FDR.In 1939, 1940, and 1941 Franklin D. Roosevelt, seeking to lengthen the Christmas shopping season, proclaimed Thanksgiving the third Thursday in November. Controversy followed, and Congress passed a joint resolution in 1941 decreeing that Thanksgiving should fall on the fourth Thursday of November, where it remains.Clarification: In 1863, Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving to be the last Thursday in November. Franklin D. Roosevelt, in 1939, at the prompting of retailers who were concerned that Thanksgiving falling on November 30 would affect the amount that shoppers spent so wanted it moved one week earlier, declared Thanksgiving to be November 23, which was the fourth Thursday in November, not the third. In 1940, Roosevelt again moved Thanksgiving one week earlier - to the third Thursday in November, instead of the last (and, in this case, the fourth) Thursday.
When was the last time Hanukkah and Thanksgiving overlapped?
The last time was November 28, 2013. It will never happen again in our lifetime.One physicist has calculated that, if the Jewish calendar is not revised, Thursday, November 28 will not fall during Hanukkah again until the year 79811, once it has drifted all the way around the cycle of the Gregorian calendar and back to NovemberHowever, since the Jewish day does not begin at midnight, but on the sunset before it, there will be two more years in which Hanukkah and Thanksgiving partially overlap, with the first night of Hanukkah beginning in the evening of Thanksgiving. These will be the evenings of Thursday, November 27, 2070 and Thursday, November 28, 2165.
When will thanksgiving fall on November 26th again?

What US president made Thanksgiving a national holiday?
President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day during the Civil War, on October 3, 1863. He asked that the nation give thanks for the Union on the last Thursday of November. That made the first true national autumn Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 26, 1863, recognizing a long-standing New England tradition of placing the holiday on the fourth Thursday in November. He did it partially to help soothe the national mood, which was weary of the Civil War. He declared Thanksgiving again for November 23, 1864. In 1865, his successor, Andrew Johnson, declared a Thanksgiving for December 7, 1865, and presidents traditionally declared a Thanksgiving for every autumn since. (Andrew Johnson was the first to give government employees the day off, making it a legal holiday.) In 1941, Congress passed a bill, and FDR signed it, that fixed the date as the fourth Thursday in November. FDR attempted to move the holiday to the third Thursday in November, but Congress enacted a law to fix the date at the fourth Thursday in November, thus making it an "official" holiday. On November 26, 1941, FDR signed the bill. See the Related Link for a complete time line of the history of Thanksgiving. George Washington was the first President to declare a national day of Thanksgiving.

How often does Thanksgiving fall on November 27?
I was born on Monday, November 27, 1950. A mid-century baby. Like so many others, my birth date has fallen on Thanksgiving some years (without any real logic, it seemed to me then), but not on others. Why, oh, why? I asked myself many times. Never stopping to figure it out.I've celebrated my birth date on Thanksgiving Thursday, November 27, these years: 1952; 1958; 1969; 1975; 1980; 1986; 1997; 2003 and 2008.Future birth dates on Thanksgiving Thursday, November 27, will be these years (mine in parens): 2014 (64 y/o); 2025 (75 y/o); 2031 (81 y/o); 2036 (86 y/o); 2042 (92 y/o) and 2053. In 2003, if I get there, I'll be 103 years. My mother turned 92 last month. So, it may be possible for me to get to be a cranky, old turkey hen.Although I remember having my birth date on Thanksgiving Thursday, November 27, at least half dozen +plus times (nine (9), so far), I used perpetual calendars to find these dates/years to post this answer accurately.However, I also checked with already posted entries by other turkey babies (and/or others on www.blankety/blank.com), and the repeat pattern of years (+6, +11, +6, +5, +6, +11, +6, +5, +6, +11, +6, +5, +6, +11) holds true for my birth date, as well.I do love my turkey and cranberries, specially on my birth date. However, I do not remember ever getting a birthday gift or birthday cake on Thanksgiving Day. Is anyone out there listening/reading this? Everyone forgets, because all they think about is the turkey (turkeys!).Looking forward cyber-meeting and/or exchanging notes with similarly blessed, Thanksgiving Thursday, November 27 babies.Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Birth Date to all turkey babies, young and old alike. For the rest of you (and you know who you are), don't forget the cake and gifts, because it's not all about the turkey.

How many times will your birthday fall on Thanksgiving if you were born on November 22 1949 and you live until November 22 2010?
I just looked it up on vpcalendar.com, & your ?? is faulty. November 25/ 1934 was a Sunday & US Thanksgiving is always on Thursday. Anyway, a certain date such as Nov. 25 is on Sunday or any certain day of the week, 4 times every 28 years. The calendar repeats in a cycle of 11 + 6 + 5 + 6 years. This will be interrupted in the year 2100 because it will not be a leap year although divisible by 4.
