Fifer - Birthday Party with Music by Craven ELM - Blackjack Fifer - Euchre Thanksgiving Trivia Thanksgiving is celebrated in both the United States and Canada (but Canada celebrates in October). Thanksgiving was established as an official U.S. holiday in 1863 by President Lincoln, taking place on the last Thursday of November. In 1941, U.S. Congress moved up the date of Thanksgiving to the fourth Thursday in November, with the intent of stimulating the economy with more Christmas shopping. President Reagan was the first president to grant a presidential pardon to a turkey, in 1987.
