Can't Wait to Shop? Black Friday Is Rapidly Becoming Black Thursday

Some retailers are pushing holiday shopping into Thanksgiving.

If you've been scouring all the Black Friday ads that have been leaked onto the internet, you already know that the year's biggest shopping day has become Black Turkey Day.

Some will still be gobbling those post-Thanksgiving turkey sandwiches when major retailers fling open their doors to anxious bargain hunters, a few of whom have been camping outside the stores through rain and cold waiting for the sales to begin.

Kohl's, Target, Best Buy, and Macy's will open at midnight Thursday instead of the wee hours of the morning, like Penney's at 4 a.m. And Wal-Mart will jump ahead of the pack by opening at 10 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day.

Black Friday won it's moniker because sales during the last two months push many retailers into the black for the year.
