The True Story of Thanksgiving
28th November 2013
In 1621, the English hadn’t gotten around to adopting the Gregorian calendar yet, so their year was 10 days behind what we know now.
The traditional harvest feast in Europe was Martinmas, held on November 11.
Add 10 days to November 11 and you get November 21, which this year falls on the third Thursday of November.
So all you people who are celebrating Thanksgiving today are a week late.
Just so you know.
