I will not be shopping on Thanksgiving, refuse to do so, although I may bring a few cookies to the old guy who works at the local gas station where I get my coupons on Sundays, as I know he'll be there. At least it makes sense for a gas station right off the highway to be open. It is always interesting to see what is open when we drive by. One niece is thankful, she's an assistant manager for a Wal*Mart, but the town it is in does not permit them to be open on Thanksgiving at all, and they cannot open at midnight, either, just a couple hours earlier than normal on Friday.
