Thanksgiving is defined to be the fourth Thursday in the month
of November. This means that within the current decade, we
have Thanksgiving as:
November 25, 2010
November 24, 2011
November 22, 2012
November 28, 2013
November 27, 2014
November 26, 2015
November 24, 2016
November 23, 2017
November 22, 2018
November 28, 2019
I'm loath to give a Wikipedia link here since some sci.math
posters distrust that site, but this link does give more
information about the Thanksgiving dates:

You live in a fantasy world. Do you honestly believe that anyone will
claim that Wikipedia is not a good reference for Thanksgiving dates?

Well, I can make it a very bad reference in 30 seconds or less. It
takes just one person to f*ck it up.
For example, just yesterday i read that the Russian name
"Yuriy" (George) - means "a farmer" in Russian and is derived from
this word. Totally absurd.

Yes, that can happen. And still, it is pretty darned unlikely that WP
gets the dates for Thanksgiving wrong when you check it.

Pigeons were widely suspected of secret intercourse with the
enemy; counter-measures included the use of British birds of
prey to intercept suspicious pigeons in mid-air.

If you are referring to the entry for "Yuri", it didn't say that. It
said that the Russian name "Yuri" means farmer, not that "Yuri" means
farmer in Russian. This is no worse than saying that in English
"Peter" is a name meaning rock. When people say that a name means
something, they are typically referring to its origin. It would of
course be better to say that it is derived from a (Greek) word meaning
farmer.

Yes, it 'is' Greek and in German (Georg = George, Jörg, Jürgen, Jörn,
Schorsch, Joris, Georgio, Juri, Omar as we have some immigrants) nobody
would assert it means farmer, it is just the origin.
While Richard or Ricardo, Rico here stems from Old High German meaning rich
& strong (rihi=reich, mächtig; harti=stark).
And Axel is Absalom, Hebrew via Scandinavia, Father of peace (well,
I was catholic ... and BTW have no such childs, unfortunately)

Perhaps you should google "george means farmer" (with quotations).
People *do* assert exactly that sort of thing.

The Russian name "Yuri" came into being to commemorate St. George. The
fact that the Greek name "George" came from "farmer" is secondary. The
article as it was, was not simply misleading but also missed the most
important piece of information.

Preferably in the Julian calendar, used by the Russian, Ukrainian and
Serb churches.
