Thanksgiving history. How the date was decided. Fun Fact!

In responding to another post about the date of Thanksgiving, I decided to look up some facts. I had no idea how the date was decided until reading this. I just show up, give thanks and eat. From now on, I'll know why I'm doing it, when I'm doing it :)

Interesting.
I can't imagine such last minute public holidays being announced these days. It would be great though :D
I vote we move it to early November so we can give thanks we survived another political campaign.
I vote we have one at every change of seasons.

Thanksgiving in November
Appreciationgiving in August
Gratefulnessgiving in May, and
Contentednessgiving in February.

(We need to be contended in February, because 28 days is all we get. :D LOL)
