I am against it and will not shop on Thanksgiving. It used to be exciting to get up early, pack our coffee and snacks and set out for several hours of shopping. With the Thanksgiving opening, we've lost that. Plus, the sales just don't seem to be as good. For the first time in many years, we didn't go at all last year. I will do some online shopping but it isn't worth the rude crowds and long lines at the registers to brave the stores, especially on Thursday.
