Thanksgiving 2013 date

Thanksgiving Day is an annual national holiday in the United States and Canada celebrating the harvest and other blessings of the past year. Thanksgiving has deep roots in religious tradition, but nowadays it is primarily celebrated as a secular holiday. Thanksgiving tradition began in early XVII century, but the date and popularity varied between states.

First nation-wide Thanksgiving was proclaimed on November 26, by George Washington. The contemporary date of fourth Thursday of November was set in by federal legislation. Thanksgiving is a great time to be thankful and appreciate who you have and what you have. It is a time for families to meet, socialize and enjoy each other's company, sometimes the only opportunity in a year.

Some prefer it to Christmas because of less emphasis on consumerism.
