Yet many of these same eompbiners are overheard to comment that their Christmas shopping b almost all done before Thanksgiving. They want the convenience of shopping early to gat good selection, and miss all of the crowds, yet they would like to preserve the identity id Thanksgiving by not having it overrun by Christmas. And others find it alright to head to the big city for specbl buys whore the Christmas opening b me or two weeks before Thanksgiving, but they feel the smaller towns should hold to the bter opening date.
