Thanksgiving has been a nationally recognized official holiday since Abraham Lincoln declared it so to give thanks that the Union was preserved.
Not that preserving the union has turned out to be a good thing.
The Thanksgiving Proclamation setting the last thursday of November as the official day of Thanksgiving.
A Proclamation.
The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defence, have not arrested the plough, the shuttle or the ship; the axe has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battle-field; and the country, rejoicing in the consiousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom. No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, this Third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the Independence of the Unites States the Eighty-eighth.

No, I think FDR wanted to adjust the date to accomodate the Christmas shopping season, but there was such a hue and cry that he didn't do it, or changed it back.
Washington and Lincoln both recognized it.
It's traditionally been an observance of thankfulness to God in this country. I'm pretty sure that pagans weren't holding widespread harvest festivals in 1940.

He did change it... and yes there was huge confusion. That was when congress set the date and made it a legal secular American holiday...

You're failing here.Once again you have failed to read the information provided in this thread. Chaplains have been Muslim and Hindu.
"Chaplains are elected as individuals and not as representatives of any religious community, body, or organization. As of 2011, all Senate Chaplains have been Christian but can be members of any religion or faith group. Guest Chaplains, recommended by Senators to deliver the session's opening prayer in place of the Senate Chaplain, have represented "all the world's major religious faiths." Those who have served in such capacity include Warith Deen Mohammed who was Muslim and Rajan Zed who was Hindu.
The founders were men of principles, If there were so many Theist and Deist as Syrenn was suggesting why don't we have at least one Theist or Deist as the Congressional Chaplain? Stop whining.
You stated, "No wait All the Chaplains in the senate have been of the Christian faith". You are wrong. Simple as that... I have provided such information in earlier posts which you have ignored. Indeed, citing Chaplains who are not Christian, but, Muslim and Hindu and is contained in your own source material which you have ignored as well....

You're confusing Holiday for a day set a side too give thanks to God.Are you still arguing about thi, even after I showed you George Washington proclamation at the request of the U.S. Congress to have a date too give thanks to God.sure... in this country.
thanksgiving is nothing more then a harvest festival... and IS an off shoot of pagan rituals.
easter is not pagan... its christian.
Really?

I have, evidently you haven't.
All my source does is show that you are a liar. Those names are not on either of the list.
Nor where their any Deist or Theist chaplains. Wonder why there wasn't any since the founders according to syreen were Deist and Theist?

History of the Chaplaincy
Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution states: "The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers."
The election of the Rev. William Linn as Chaplain of the House on May 1, 1789, continued the tradition established by the Continental Congresses of each day's proceedings opening with a prayer by a chaplain. The early chaplains alternated duties with their Senate counterparts on a weekly basis. The two conducted Sunday services for the Washington community in the House Chamber every other week.
Since the election of Rev. Linn in 1789, the House has been served by chaplains of various religious denominations, including Baptist (7), Christian (1), Congregationalist (2), Disciples of Christ (1), Episcopalian (4), Lutheran (1), Methodist (16), Presbyterian (15), Roman Catholic (1), Unitarian (2), and Universalist (1).
In addition to opening proceedings with prayer, the Chaplain provides pastoral counseling to the House community, coordinates the scheduling of guest chaplains, and arranges memorial services for the House and its staff. In the past, Chaplains have performed marriage and funeral ceremonies for House members.

Office of the Senate Chaplain
When the Senate first convened in New York City on April 6, 1789, one of its first orders of business was to appoint a committee to recommend a candidate for chaplain. On April 25, the Senate elected the Right Reverend Samuel Provoost, Episcopal Bishop of New York, as its first chaplain. Since that time, the Senate has been served by chaplains of various religious denominations, including Episcopalians (19), Methodists (17), Presbyterians (14), Baptists (6), Unitarians (2), Congregationalists (1), Lutherans (1), Roman Catholic (1), and Seventh-day Adventist (1). The Senate has also appointed guest chaplains representative of all the world's major religious faiths. In addition to opening the Senate each day in prayer, the current Senate chaplain's duties include spiritual care and counseling for senators, their families, and their staffs -- a combined constituency of over 6,000 people -- and discussion sessions, prayer meetings, and a weekly Senators' Prayer Breakfast.

I am reading it right now, it is there...I have quoted it, I posted it I cannot do everything for you. Unlike you beloved leader Obama I will not do for you that which you can do for yourself. What you suggest is tantamount to giving out a free phone.
The material is there just read it, it is not that hard, you can do it....
