Thanksgiving 2025: Why It Falls on the 4th Thursday of November

Thanksgiving is a big holiday in the US where people get together to eat yummy food and be thankful.

It started a long time ago when the first President, George Washington, said it should be a day to give thanks.

Later, another President, Abraham Lincoln, made it a national holiday.

Now, it's always on the fourth Thursday of November.

People still eat turkey and pie, but they also do fun new things like writing what they're thankful for on special paper or going on hikes to say thanks.

It's a time for families to be together and remember what's important.
