Holiday Shopping Season

I view Cyber Monday and Black Friday as good things, because they allow people to save money on their holiday shopping which could potentially very expensive. However, I don't think that any shopping should open up until Friday because people should not be forced to work on Thanksgiving. If the stores are closed on Thanksgiving, I have no problem with the season being extended because the stores make money, and people don't have to spend as much money. The sales are good for all parties involved.
