I thought I was onto something new. I wrote a paper when I was in college in the 1990's about changing the date of Thanksgiving to October. I received an A I think, but my Professor wrote some disagreeable comment because he didn't like the idea of changing the holiday. I am tired of poor Thanksgiving getting lost. How could we start a petition to get it changed? I just came across this article. I thought I was onto something new.

The weather is nice and can be crisp or even warm. The leaves are wonderful and smell wonderful. The harvest table is fresh and bountiful. The food served was last tasted at Christmas or New Year's so is very anticipated. It's just the right amount of time for students to return home and visit their family and friends. It's a harvest holiday that happens during harvest. Your Thanksgiving is getting lost to Christmas - change it and enjoy the fruits (and veg) of soil, water, sun and labour.
