The following year in 1940, Thanksgiving fell on the second-to-last Thursday of the month, once again, despite the fact there weren’t five Thursdays in the month of November.
But according to TIME, FDR had admitted it had been a mistake, because the calendars had already been printed. Oops.
At the end of the following year in 1941, FDR ended up signing a bill mandating that the holiday would always fall on the fourth Thursday of the month, according to Country Living, regardless of how many Thursdays there were in the month of November.
And with the birth of Black Friday, Thanksgiving maintained its time slot. Yep, it’s largely because of capitalism, my friends. Too wild.
