The president who declared two Thanksgivings in one year was Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1939. He moved Thanksgiving up one week from the traditional last-Thursday date to help the economy during the Depression, which led some states to observe Thanksgiving on November 23, 1939 and others on November 30, 1939, effectively creating two Thanksgiving observances in the same year.
