Thanksgiving was originally not assigned a specific day or month for its celebration but since President Roosevelt signed the bill on December 26, 1941, thanksgiving was set to be celebrated on the 4th Thursday in the month of November every year making it a part of federal law in the United States.

The time for the celebration (4th Thursday in November) doesn’t change but due to the way our calendar works, the date of thanksgiving will change every year. It usually falls around November 22 – November 28.
Thanksgiving is a time when family members come together to eat, reconnect, make merry and thank God for the previous year.
