Was in 2017.

Just 6 years ago. So, not that long. A 6 or 5 year gap between U.S. Thanksgiving falling on the same day is the norm. (The 11-year gaps are due to Leap Years.)

U.S. Thanksgiving (the ONLY ‘Thanksgiving’ of import & meaning as far as I am concerned, the others being but shameless efforts at imitation), as of 1941, is ALWAYS on a Thursday — the 4th Thursday of November. As such, it can occur between November 22 to November 28.

This year, i.e., 2023, it occurs close to the start of that range, i.e., November 23.

Kind of neat that in 2023 Thanksgiving is on the 23rd.
