As we know it, Thanksgiving was proclaimed an official holiday in 1789 by George Washington. The day was different every year up until 1863, when Abraham Lincoln proclaimed it to fall on the last Thursday in November. This lasted until 1939, when Franklin Delano Roosevelt moved it up one week to allow for an extra week in the Christmas shopping season.
