I’ve always been a religious devotee of Black Friday. Last year, I got up with my sisters and mother-in-law in the middle of the night while the tryptophan and pie residue still flowed in my veins, drove to Starbucks for a carafe of overpriced Americana tradition in a red paper cup and headed to a Seattle mega-mall to raise the balance on my credit card in the name of holiday cheer and goodwill.

While some stores are offering a jumpstart on holiday sales by opening up on Thanksgiving Day, others are vowing to keep their doors shut.
