Black Friday has grown into a weekend of consumer-oriented festivities starting as early as 6 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day. We've put together a guide as to who’s open when and what kinds of deals you can find when you shop, either at brick-and-mortar stores or on the Web:
What ever happened to spending time with family, overeating, doing dishes, watching football, playing games, and making leftover-turkey sandwiches? This year, more stores than ever are planning on being open for Christmas shopping…on Thanksgiving.
