Stores Opening Earlier and Earlier Thanksgiving Day — Schedule Of Times

The Thanksgiving holiday is on it's way and with that most people are preparing to get together with friends and family for a great meal, drinks and football.  But some people are actually mapping out their game plan on shopping for Black Friday.

But is there really a Black Friday anymore?  I mean as far as I can remember, stores didn't open until like 4 or 5 a.m. on the Friday after Thanksgiving.  But not now!  Stores are now starting to open their doors earlier and earlier every year to get a leg up on the shoppers dollars.
