President Roosevelt shifted the national holiday to the second-to-last Thursday of the month in an attempt to regain some order (a change that many were unhappy with). Roosevelt tried to defend his choice with a pro-shopping argument rather than focusing on the drawbacks: retailers would now have a holiday later in the season to allow for more time for shopping. This, in a sense, gave rise to the Black Friday shopping frenzy about 80 years ago.

The permanent shift occured the following year (1940), when the second-to-last Thursday in November (Nov. 21) was designated as Thanksgiving Day.

Roosevelt signed a bill making Thanksgiving Day fall on the fourth Thursday of November, regardless of whether it is the last Thursday of the month, as 1941 came to a close. This was the final permanent change.
