Nov. 21, 1940 | A balloon depicting Superman kicks off the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade of 1940. It was an early Thanksgiving that year after U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt issued a proclamation setting the holiday one week earlier than anticipated. In 1941, a law was signed declaring that future Thanksgivings would be celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November.
