Angered by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's decision to move Thanksgiving, thousands wrote to the White House to protest 'Franksgiving.'
Thanksgiving falls on November 28 this year, which means that the holiday shopping season will be shorter than usual. Back in 1939, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt faced a similarly compressed holiday season. To assuage the fears of retail lobbyists, FDR moved Thanksgiving forward a week that year. The change divided the country, with 16 states refusing to move up the date of the holiday.
