Thanksgiving Day shopping is losing a bit of its edge this year with major retailers — under pressure from traditionalists — shutting their doors on the holiday.
No worries, though. There’s still plenty of time to shop with Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday keeping credit cards and shopping areas busy in the post-turkey frenzy.
Consider taking a break from the buying with Giving Tuesday (givingtuesday. org). The week after Thanksgiving is when most charities kick off their busiest time of the year. If charitable giving isn’t on your holiday list, consider adding it. Giving is a habit you won’t have to break.
