Fun facts about the actual calendar date of Thanksgiving:
Abraham Lincoln’s successors as president followed his example of annually declaring the final Thursday in November to be Thanksgiving. But in 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt broke with this tradition. November had five Thursdays that year (instead of the usual four), and Roosevelt declared the fourth Thursday as Thanksgiving rather than the fifth one. With the country still in the midst of The Great Depression, Roosevelt thought an earlier Thanksgiving would give merchants a longer period to sell goods before Christmas. Since a presidential declaration of Thanksgiving Day was not legally binding, Roosevelt’s change was widely disregarded. Twenty-three states went along with Roosevelt’s recommendation, 22 did not, and some, like Texas, could not decide and took both days as government holidays. In 1940 and 1941, years in which November had four Thursdays, Roosevelt declared the third one as Thanksgiving. As in 1939, some states went along with the change while others retained the traditional last-Thursday date. This confusion was often referred to as “Franksgiving”.
Thanksgiving Day was eventually fixed by law as the 4th Thursday in November in 1941.

A large part of me thinks “Pigs” is Jane’s best song. Cutting, unafraid, and (righteously) angry.
Not gonna lie: It’s been so long since I’ve heard this song that, when I thought about it again, I actually thought it was called “Thank You.”
