Today. Thursday, November 24th, (the fourth Thursday in November) - the day before Black Friday. Thanksgiving Day traditionally kicks off the 'holiday season' in the United States. The day was set in stone by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1939 and approved by Congress in 1941. FDR changed it from Abraham Lincoln's designation as the last Thursday in November (because there are sometimes five Thursdays in the month). While Britons think of it as a warm-up for the Yuletide period, many Americans think it of it as just as important as Christmas.
