During this make it or break it time of the year, newspapers are filled with circulars trying to get your business. At one time, stores opened at 6:00 AM the day after Thanksgiving, known in the biz as Black Friday.

Small businesses don't stand a chance during this cut throat shopping frenzy. That is why I support Shop Small Saturday.
