I’m happy to share a list of all the stores closed on Thanksgiving Day, 2020. It’s wonderful that these employees can actually be home with their families.
Everything will be different for Thanksgiving and Christmas 2020. From shopping to socializing, we’re on a new path. The fact that these stores are going to close for Thanksgiving makes me glad that so many will get to have the holiday off.

Since the stores are closed on Thanksgiving…
You’ll have time to eat dessert until your pajamas pop. Here are some more things you can do Thanksgiving evening that doesn’t involve shopping!
Write out your Christmas to-do list.
You’ve probably got lots of wish lists and to-dos for the holiday. Get a nice cup of cocoa, blow on it to cool it off a little, and start planning away in this little notebook.

The notebook has…
- Pages to track each, individual person on your Christmas list. Their likes, sizes, and more along with your budget for each person.
- There is space to keep notes about the crafts you plan to make, along with supplies you’ll need to buy.
- Easily track what you spend and on what.
- It’s a Black Friday Notebook – that lays out the deals you’re searching for as well as which stores you are going to and how much you plan to spend at each.
- It has plenty of individual recipe pages.
- Blank lined pages to jot down anything you need to remember.
- Lots of space to keep a log of the cards you need to send, to whom, their addresses, and a box to check when a card has been sent.
Watch some movies as a family.
I’m picturing being snuggled up in a soft blanket next to the people I love most. I’m already happy just thinking about it. You feel that way, too? So grab the world’s greatest snuggle blanket and your favorite snuggle bunnies and have a watch party.

Let’s all remember, when we’re in stores shopping this season, to be patient and kind. Whether it’s other shoppers or the people who work at these places, let’s be good to one another. We could all use a little extra kindness.
