乔治•华盛顿在1789年确立了“全国感恩节”,后来托马斯•杰斐逊总统反对“感恩节”的这个想法。后来是在杂志编辑Sarah Josepha Hale的努力下,最终确定了我们熟知的感恩节。在努力给政府人士和总统写了40年社论和信之后,Hale的夙愿终于变成了现实。在1863年,林肯总统宣布把11月的最后一个星期四定为全国的感恩节。
The date was changed a couple of times, most recently by Franklin Roosevelt, who set it up one week to the next-to-last Thursday in order to create a longer Christmas shopping season. Public uproar against this decision caused the president to move Thanksgiving back to its original date two years later. And in 1941, Thanksgiving was finally sanctioned by Congress as a legal holiday, as the fourth Thursday in November.
日期被更改了几次,最后一次是富兰克林•罗斯福定的,他为了延长圣诞购物季把日期定为倒数第二个星期四前的一周。民众反对这一决定的呼声致使总统在两年后又把感恩节改回了原来的日期。1941年,感恩节最终被国会定为法定节日,日期是11月第四个星期四。
