I was watching Miracle on 34th Street and noticed that the date on the door said something like Closed for Thanksgiving November, 28th.
This year Thanksgiving fell on November 28th too. So, I guess i'll take my house now - or I'd just settle for a winning lottery ticket.
I guess the last time that happened was 2002 (apparently it falls on that date semi-frequently, it just hasn't happened for a while) - a rather forgettable year.
Unfun fact: Abraham Lincoln set Thanksgiving as the final Thursday in November, however the evil FDR set Thanksgiving as the fourth Thursday in November (Roosevelt allegedly wanted the next to the last Thursday in November to be the "holiday")- why (allegedly)...
An earlier Thanksgiving would give retailers a longer period of time to sell goods before Xmas.
