Thanksgiving Unplugged

That little smart phone in your pocket can be pretty hard to put down, even at the dinner table.

They're calling it Thanksgiving Unplugged.

No Thanksgiving shopping in Massachusetts

Thanks to some old laws called "blue laws", there will be no Christmas shopping on Thanksgiving in Massachusetts!

The laws state that retailers can not be open and can not force people to work those days.
