Yes, going back to edit that in now. I was also surprised how much it varies from state to state.

I have no idea what the harvest dates were back in 1863 when Lincoln picked a date, or the earlier festivals. But I was surprised to learn just now that corn (edit: maize for much of the world), for example, does finish getting harvested a lot later than I thought: from: A Visual Look at...

Christmas Eve for us was always when the whole side of the family could get together, so that's the one we did up. Christmas was just immediate family and might even have had leftovers from the night before still :)

The late-middlish part even. Pulled up his proclamation earlier today in part due to this thread.
