so i am the only dummy who agreed to friday open ...I think i might close and give a refund , last year no one brought the kids in , but it seems like no one wants to be home with their child if they have the option

Open today, but not Friday. The first year I was opened, I opened on Friday only to have parents ask to bring super early so they could go black Friday shopping. I decided that since most don't work, I won't either!

I am open today but it's incredibly slow, I only have my babies.

This is the first year I closed the Friday after Thanksgiving, it just wasn't worth being open for that one diehard family

Being Canadian - I have a question...

Is Thanksgiving a really big deal in the US? We celebrate Thanksgiving, but it doesn't seem to be such a major holiday here as it is in the US! I never close the day before or after a holiday (except Christmas) so I'm wondering if this is the norm in America??
I know Black Friday is also a big deal too - Canada has "boxing day" which is the day after Christmas and most stores have sales, etc similar to your Black Friday - but nothing like this after our Thanksgiving!

Yes, Thanksgiving is a big deal here! It is always on Thursday too.

Black Friday has become bigger and bigger in the last few years but unless you are a die hard shopper, it is NOT worth fighting the crowds just to save a buck. IMPO.

Yes, Thanksgiving is a huge, huge deal here. Big emvisis (sp) on family and friends. I don't think the "original" meaning is celebrated as much anymore. I think there are huge parades all over also.

Most places unless you are retail, is closed the next day. I guess having a Thursday off and then having to return back for one day isn't worth it. Alot and I mean alot of retailers just stay open on Thanksgiving anymore and I find that so sad. These workers I guess don't get to even spend holidays with their families because we think if we don't spend money every day of the year something is wrong. OK, I'll stop there before going any further as its a huge issue with me!
