Thanksgiving is over and Black Friday is here. The tradition of celebrating Thanksgiving on Thursday dates back to our country’s beginnings and was established by Roosevelt on this day in history in 1941:
President Franklin D. Roosevelt signs a bill officially establishing the fourth Thursday in November as Thanksgiving Day.
The tradition of celebrating the holiday on Thursday dates back to the early history of the Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay colonies, when post-harvest holidays were celebrated on the weekday regularly set aside as “Lecture Day,” a midweek church meeting where topical sermons were presented.
The tradition of waking up at 3AM to battle crowds trying to save $20 off the latest tech gadget is a little more recent. Save yourself the trouble this year and check out our online shop of over 400 unique collectible gifts. Buy the perfect gift while you have your first cup of coffee the day after Thanksgiving and get on with your day.
