On October 31, 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a presidential proclamation changing the holiday to the next to last Thursday in November, for business reasons. On December 26, 1941, he signed a joint resolution of Congress changing the national Thanksgiving Day from the last Thursday in November to the fourth Thursday.
But for many Americans the holiday of Thanksgiving Day is not just for NFL football, turkey and all the fixins’. It’s actually a day for car maintenance (see video below).
So in preparation for later this week, some day soon, stop by a retail store selling car maintenance supplies and stock up on the essentials: a new car deodorant or air freshener, seat stain remover, new windshield wipers, bug and tar remover, a trunk organizer, engine oil, brake fluid, and of course the blinker fluid as well.
