I liked the 5 AM openings better. It was like adult Christmas. You'd stay up all night and go get your goodies in the morning. The staggered opening times of the last couple of years have created some weirdness and we're likely to see more of that as they all move earlier. But, honestly, (I know I'll take heat on this one) I don't understand why Thanksgiving is so sacred. It's a harvest festival we celebrate by sitting down to our families and gorging ourselves. Heck, for most families this comes more than once a year. And, who doesn't have more than one Thanksgiving? In-laws? Divorced parents? It's OK to do it on Saturday; I'm willing to bet a lot of people already do. But let's all remember it's not a religious holiday. Family holiday, yes, but hopefully family's around more than once a year.
