Quote:I do understand what you say, but you can't just move Christmas to December 24th.

 

I will go on record to say, Black Friday will prevail in the end (imo). I simply can't envision Thanksgiving night becoming a replacement for Black Friday. It seems like a failure waiting to happen.

 

Happy Thanksgiving, FBT.

I'm married to a retail GM who is asleep because she has to work at 1 am.


She hates this time of year, but understands this is where the year is made or lost. They're expecting a dismal shopping season this year, and retailers are slashing prices and extending hours. It sucks, but as the big boys have started to move into Thanksgiving day with their sales, everyone else has followed suit. Even the local malls opened at 8 tonight because the big box anchors were all running sales. If they open, so does the rest of the mall. It's only a matter of time before these same retailers decide Christmas and Easter are no longer sacred days either. Some have already started that trend.


Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
