No stores are open on Thanksgiving!

Let us repeat:
NO STORES ARE OPEN ON THANSKGIVING!

Some of them close early on Wednesday! I'm tempted put a blink tag this. Plan ahead! -- Madeleine

== Timing ==

Vague plan is to start cooking around 3PM, and be done around 7 or 8pm, with  drinking and essential snacking interspersed throughout the day.

== Things to buy/bring ==

'''REMEMBER REMEMBER:''' Nothing is open on Thanksgiving. Like ''nothing''. That means everything needs to purchased before businesses close on Wednesday. and Some of them close early. (Of note, Farmer's Bounty was open last year until 3PM or so on Thurs, pretending not to know the law.)

Remove this stuff if people pick it up or commit to bringing it:

* '''DRINKS:'''
** Wild Turkey (1 Handle)
** Beer
*** one 12-pack (Chris & Mad)
** Spiced apple cider (Trader Joe's)
*** Chris & Mad sort of got this. It was sold out, but interesting similar products were acquired.
