Really, you greedy fucks couldn't keep your stores closed for half a fucking day? You had to ruin Thanksgiving?
If it wasn't for consumers going apeshit for this, it wouldn't happen.

For us Canadians, Thanksgiving is much less of a big deal. We eat turkey with family, get caught up etc, but don't exchange presents or spend any money really.

"Black Friday" on the other hand is becoming a big deal here for some. Probably not as big as the US version but still.

What I plan to do tomorrow is check out a few websites of stores I shop at, and if I see a deal I may buy something, but I have no plans to fight the crowds at stores.
