Stores staying closed on Thanskgiving 2015

Hopefully everyone has their turkeys thawing in the freezer, and people are making plans to celebrate a day to give thanks for they have.

We all know black Friday is right after Thanksgiving where people jump right into the mad dash to buy things, and some retailers over the past few years have even been open for Thanksgiving shopping sales.

Thankfully some stores have come out now to say that they will not be open for shopping, so their employees can spend the day at home with their families.

TheBlackFriday.com has a good running list of stores that will be CLOSED on Thanskgiving Day.

If you're going out Friday, support the stores that support a day of thanks before shopping!

Don't shortchange Thanksgiving



Over at the Pensacola News Journal (pnj.com) writer Troy Moon has a great post about respecting Thanksgiving and fighting the Christmas creep.

Moon: Don't shortchange Thanksgiving

What we really need to be concerned about is the War on Thanksgiving, being waged by Christmas.

Black Friday is bad enough. But last year, the Christmas holiday season even swallowed Thanksgiving, to me, the best holiday of them all. A holiday built around family, friends, food and feasting. A day to count your blessings and enjoy the company of those you love most. But then again, some of us love the appliance aisle at the box store most of all.


Great to have another voice working to help keep the Thanksgiving holiday alive!

Quartz Christmas Creep Calculator

Quartz news site has made a graph to extrapolate the future date of when the Christmas Creep will hit for years to come.

Apparently in London they are turning on the Christmas lights on November 1st, far earlier than they have in the past.

Taking that into account, there will be Christmas in July in our future some day.

Respect the turkey!
