I always wonder when exactly the pilgrims got squished into this holiday. Because it was created by Lincoln as a national day of prayer and giving thanks. And unless Abe had a time machine I don't think he was involved with the pilgrims...

Well, it wasn't exactly created by him, as our celebration of it has nothing to do with him, for instance.

Today is not the last Thursday of November. That would be next week, the 30th.

Yes, but this *is* the fourth thursday in November, which is when you strange backwards heathens hold your "thanksgiving" ceremony, instead of the second Monday of October, which is As God Intended.

The 2nd Monday in October is already spoken for.

Well yes, but if you are willing to see the error of your ways and hold Thanksgiving then, then I am sure we would be willing to share.
