I can deal with the concept of grocery stores being open for last-minute items, but I do not think that ravenous consumer gluttony is part of the spirit of the holiday.
A mom & pop that stays open on Thanksgiving Day to cater to the needs of its customers and then closes early Friday afternoon & all day Saturday is not a display of ravenous consumer gluttony.
