And we should not forget that almost every grocery-store, and even some national automotive stores, are going to open on Thanksgiving to help their customers who may have some last minute shopping to do. The only thing thankful in commercial America about Thanksgiving is that they can have another day to sell. And I guess the people who have to work on these days have nothing to be thankful for nor families to celebrate or reflect with.
What happened to the America that even gasoline was not sold on Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year?

Not in Tucson they won't be. In Tucson any item that can't be purchased at a convenience store or Denny's has to wait until Friday. I actually enjoy going for a drive on Thanksgiving afternoon, it's like a post apocalypse movie, all alone in the city.

Well, that's what they think Thanksgiving is -- The beginning of the shopping season. I always thought that Thanksgiving and Christmas really bracketed the Holidays. Every day in the middle was special.
