Fourth Thursday in November
President Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a Federal holiday as a "prayerful day of Thanksgiving" on the last Thursday in November. Since then every U.S. President has always made an official Thanksgiving Proclamation on behalf of the nation. President Franklin D. Roosevelt set the date for Thanksgiving to the fourth Thursday of November in 1939 (approved by Congress in 1941).

22 November this year and in any case it's always the 4th Thursday in November. This year there are 5 Thursdays in the month of November: 1, 8, 15, 22 & 29.
