How often does Thanksgiving fall on November 27?

I was born on Monday, November 27, 1950. A mid-century baby. Like so many others, my birth date has fallen on Thanksgiving some years (without any real logic, it seemed to me then), but not on others. Why, oh, why? I asked myself many times. Never stopping to figure it out.

I've celebrated my birth date on Thanksgiving Thursday, November 27, these years: 1952; 1958; 1969; 1975; 1980; 1986; 1997; 2003 and 2008.

Future birth dates on Thanksgiving Thursday, November 27, will be these years (mine in parens): 2014 (64 y/o); 2025 (75 y/o); 2031 (81 y/o); 2036 (86 y/o); 2042 (92 y/o) and 2053. In 2003, if I get there, I'll be 103 years. My mother turned 92 last month. So, it may be possible for me to get to be a cranky, old turkey hen.

Although I remember having my birth date on Thanksgiving Thursday, November 27, at least half dozen +plus times (nine (9), so far), I used perpetual calendars to find these dates/years to post this answer accurately.

However, I also checked with already posted entries by other turkey babies (and/or others on www.blankety/blank.com), and the repeat pattern of years (+6, +11, +6, +5, +6, +11, +6, +5, +6, +11, +6, +5, +6, +11) holds true for my birth date, as well.

I do love my turkey and cranberries, specially on my birth date. However, I do not remember ever getting a birthday gift or birthday cake on Thanksgiving Day. Is anyone out there listening/reading this? Everyone forgets, because all they think about is the turkey (turkeys!).

Looking forward cyber-meeting and/or exchanging notes with similarly blessed, Thanksgiving Thursday, November 27 babies.

Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Birth Date to all turkey babies, young and old alike. For the rest of you (and you know who you are), don't forget the cake and gifts, because it's not all about the turkey.
