![Wikipedia: Thanksgiving's relationship to Christmas shopping led to controversy in the 1930s. Retail stores would have liked to have a longer shopping season, but no store wanted to break with tradition and be the one to start advertising before Thanksgiving. For this reason, in 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued a presidential proclamation proclaiming Thanksgiving to be the fourth Thursday in November rather than the last Thursday, meaning in some years one week earlier, in order to lengthen the Christmas shopping season.[18] Most people adopted the President's change, which was later reinforced by an act of Congress, but many continued to celebrate Thanksgiving on the traditional date.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zuawmyrjf4hn5gqnjmgsroim/bafkreicv3fwruihlctc6rxdh2gek4wnomvbrvj4xh7yxu4gfiwweqo3ffq)
