Personally I try to spend time with my family every night and on the day a week we are all off together. Thanksgiving is not some exclusive night for our family
I know...it's laughable. They're all a bunch of wage earners like everyone else.
How would you know?
Everybody is a business owner on this thread. How convenient.
Stop being so jelly. Enjoy the fact you have (had) the day off and most likely the day after as well as the weekend and stop talking about what you have no clue about.
You can go look up all of my posts from any other thread dating back since I joined CD, and I will still own a business. Two, actually. One is retail and that is the one I'm talking about.

Everyday ISN'T Thanksgiving. Sorry. There is only one day in America regarded as Thanksgiving, and all Americans should be home with their families to enjoy it.
Sure it is. One can celebrate the "feast" any day of the year if job obligations don't allow for the calendar day to do so. Why is this so hard for you to understand? It's not about the "calendar day" it's about the celebration and the reason for doing so.
You really celebrate Thanksgiving the day the gov't tells you to and think it doesn't count if it's not on that day the government tells you to?
I'm sure you think you need to celebrate your b-day/anniversary on the day of, too. Or else it "doesn't count", right?
What's Thanksgiving supposed to be about? "The day" you're forced to get together and eat turkey because the fed gov't says so, or the reason?
Today was my Thanksgiving celebration. Turkey tasted just as good as it would have on Thursday, and friends and family had a blast.
So what's the difference, and why do YOU care about other people's personal business when it comes to how they chose to/what day the choose to celebrate a "holiday"?

Right, but it's not always that simple. Typically, your family members may only have Thanksgiving Day off, which poses a problem if you have to work (depending on what time they are available, your work hours, your role in preparing for the dinner, etc.) And if a company can afford to give you the day after off, it's a reasonable question why things can't be managed so that the employer move that day off to Thanksgiving for simplicity's sake.

It is that simple. You either have the day off or you do not due to your form of employment.
Stay out of retail, law enforcement, the medical field, sports, sports medicine, don't drive a taxi or run a train or fly a plane or be an air "host" or work in an airport, a hotel, a resort (Vegas and AC don't shut down on turkey day...don't hear them whining about it), don't ever work for a car rental company or a nursing home or a prison.
Especially if you (not you specifically, you in general) can't handle it. And the list could go on and on and on.....
So let's stop pretending people don't work on Thanksgiving and this is something "new".
We had our thanksgiving dinner on Tuesday instead of Thursday. That worked out better for all of us.
In other words, you didn't celebrate a traditional Thanksgiving (which is fine). I'd imagine that you aren't upset that stores were open on Tuesday while you were having your meal.

It appears that most stores opened in the evening or later. There's plenty of time to have the traditional Thanksgiving meal and still make it to work.
Dang, I spent Thursday morning cutting hay.
I spent Thursday afternoon, culling calves into the loading pen.
Thursday evening, we all went hunting for bambi.
I didn't get the day off, either.....
