A Proposal for the Thanksgiving Non-Holiday Holiday

It's holiday anarchy the day after Thanksgiving here in the U.S. Some people are on holidays, some people aren't, and most of us have no idea how to know which things & people will be open vs. closed. You're open? You're not? Whaa?

Steve Liesman at CNBC argues that making the day after U.S. Thanksgiving a holiday is waaaay overdue. I'm not fond of his proposed name for the new holiday -- Productivity Day? -- but I buy Steve's argument.

Holiday plans - First... Congratulations Evan! Have fun on your trip, jvprosperity. Everyone here have safe and fun holidays! Second...my family traditions are pretty well set... I'll be visiting my parents for Thanksgiving, and Christmas. I take my mom for drives... first to see the fall colors during Thanksgiving, and then to see the lights and decorations for Christmas... as she likes to see that kind of stuff and my dad prefers to sit at home and watch TV.... However, as a writer, and the owner of a trusty laptop, I'll be working even when I'm visiting..
