bet good money that the "Thanksgiving bump" came primarily from
launching the Fundraising blog on the 23rd and not from that holiday.
Easy way to check that - if the extra money was mainly in USD (does
anywhere else celebrate Thanksgiving? if so, add their currencies to
the list), it was likely from Thanksgiving, if it was spread evenly
among the currencies, it was probably the blog.
Nope.
You may have missed two important factors in the analysis
1) the blog was exclusively in english, which means a rather significant
part of our readership was not able to read its content
2) the blog is only advertized at the top of all english-speaking projects.
So, if the money was mostly in US dollars, it may have been
thanksgiving, or the blog.
