Save Thanksgiving
|
|
|
|
The goal of Save Thanksgiving is to raise awareness about this important holiday.
Reasons to Move Thanksgiving to October
- The Pilgrims and Indians most likely celebrated Thanksgiving in October. October is closer to most autumn harvests.
- Moving Thanksgiving to October opens new opportunities for family vacations. There will be fewer weather-related travel problems.
- Because of catalog sales, TV shopping networks, and the Internet, the Christmas holiday buying season no longer waits until after Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is losing its visibility.
- A Thanksgiving holiday in October creates a more balanced school calendar for students.
