Talk about a whole new meaning to "early bird." In an effort to get a (turkey) leg up on the competition - and inevitably take consumers and employees away from their friends and family - department stores around the nation will be opening their stores bright and early on Thanksgiving day, because apparently, the day after is just too long of a wait to get that new GoPro camera for your dog.

Before you know it we're going to be moving Thanksgiving to the first Thursday in August just to appease shoppers' cravings for holiday season sales. 

No one remembers what deals they got during Thanksgiving in 2011, but they will remember when Uncle Rick had too much to drink before deep frying that turkey and almost blew up the garage. But we digress.

The point is, Thanksgiving is for family, food, football and, apparently now, a lot of shopping.

Stores Open on Thanksgiving, Nov. 27 (arranged chronologically). Or bypass the shopping traffic and order online through the links below.
