For some reason, even though I am 26, I never knew the official convention for what day Thanksgiving takes place on (always the 4th Thursday). And yet I assumed that today, the 23rd, was Thanksgiving just because I remember it occurring on the 23rd on multiple past occasions. I was all disappointed because I am feeling sick today and thought that it would be a crummy Thanksgiving for me. But thankfully, I had the foresight to google ‘Thanksgiving 2013’ before saying anything to make me look stupid.
Speaking of sick, is it better to drink hot or cold beverages to deal with a sore congested throat? Doesn’t cold stuff counteract soreness, but hot clears the sinuses?
It ranges from 22 to 28 I believe. I don’t know if it’s possible to be on the 21st. Still, don’t you have a calendar or something? I still hang one up next to my computer every year.
You’re 26 and you are just now realizing that Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday? It seems like you would have at least known that Black Friday is always on the day after thanksgiving.
BeGuiled…this is an intervention. Several members have raided your place and taken/drank (really, what’s the difference?) all your alcohol. It’s for your own good.
I thought the same thing for ages. I always thought it was the 3rd Thursday of november, but I guess it’s the last thursday. But because there isn’t always a full 4th week in November, it sometimes falls on the 3rd thursday.
No, it’s always the 4th Thursday. As long as we’ve been alive it’s been that way. The only thing that changes is the number date. If the 1st day of the month is a Friday, it’s at the 28th. If the first day is a Thursday, it falls on the 22nd. I’ve looked it over and as far as I can tell it has to be between that range.
My father (63) and sibling (36) were both born on Easter. Neither birthday has fallen on Easter since. They will be 73 and 62 (respectively) when it happens again.
