Thanksgiving is a beloved holiday with fun events like the Macy's Parade and football games. In 2024, Thanksgiving is on November 28th, with less time for holiday shopping before Christmas. The first Thanksgiving dates back to early American colonists, and President George Washington designated November 26th as a day of National Thanksgiving in 1789. President Abraham Lincoln later changed the observance to the last Thursday in November. Understanding the timing of Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday in 2024 is essential.
