Thanksgiving business hours: a dated social post plan

Date and planning boundary

OPM lists Thanksgiving Day on Thursday, November 26, 2026 and defines Thanksgiving as the fourth Thursday of November. Those are public federal-holiday date facts; they do not establish any private business's opening hours.

The downloadable calendar schedules suggested work dates, not authoritative business deadlines. Do not leave bracketed fields in a published post.
