I personally grab a few of my blankets with small pox and measles and give them to my neighbors.

to clarify the dates:

This year, Thanksgiving is on Thursday, November 25, 2021. While the latest date it can occur is the 28, the earliest is November 22.

Why is Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November?
Every year, Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday of November. However, Thanksgiving used to be celebrated on the last Thursday of the month. In 1863, during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln gave the Thanksgiving proclamation and asked for Americans to set aside the last Thursday of November as a day of Thanksgiving. After that, it became the norm to hold the holiday on that day.

Why is Thanksgiving always on a Thursday?
If you’ve ever wondered why Thanksgiving is on a Thursday instead of a Friday, you aren’t alone. It seems obvious to grant everyone an automatic three-day weekend!

Surprisingly, this tradition dates back to Puritan times. In the colonies, Thanksgivings were held periodically to give thanks for a "blessing," according to Time. Melanie Kirkpatrick, author of Thanksgiving: The Holiday at the Heart of the American Experience, says that oftentimes these days of thanks fell on Thursdays. They avoided Fridays because it was a day of fasting in the Catholic Church—the Puritans probably wanted to avoid praying on a day holy to Catholics. And Saturdays weren't an option as they spent the day preparing for the Sabbath—which also left Sunday out of the question.

AND for Canada:

Thanksgiving Day
First of all, it’s important to note that Thanksgiving Day in Canada (or in Quebec, jour de l’action de grâce) is in October, not November, as it is south of the border. Specifically, it comes on the second Monday of the month—which is the same as Columbus Day in the U.S. One explanation for this distinction is that because Canada is geographically situated further north, the brief window of the harvest season comes earlier, so they observe it according to the natural seasonal shift.
