So who is planning on shopping?
Wal-Mart, Target, and Best Buy are all opening at midnight this year (10 pm for Wal-Mart, actually, I think). At first that seemed nice--we always liked to go to Target right at 6am when it opened, get a few things, and go home, but 5:30 wake up calls were painful. So midnight seemed easier.
Then DH pointed out that in order to get the TV he wants at Best Buy he and my brothers are going to have to line up IN THE AFTERNOON ON THANKSGIVING. That is not cool with me. The go every year and used to leave at 11pm and get back around 5am...no skin off my back. I'm not sure how them missing 1/2 the holiday will go over this year.
I wish retailers would just stick to 5 or 6 am. Give the employees and crazy shoppers a chance to take the post-turkey nap at least! I sort of hope sales are down slightly and they don't pull this crap next year.
