MILWAUKEE - Thursday brings Thanksgiving Day, when we all give thanks for our blessings, watch football, and eat too much food.

Friday brings the day that many of us go and burn those calories by shopping for Christmas and other holiday gifts.

Many stores are staying open 24 hours, while others are picking the early morning or the middle of the night to get the doors open early for shoppers who want the first deals.

To help you, we've come up with a list of the area malls and the times they open, along with a list of big box retailers.

Click below on the store links for more information and locations.  (Some store locations may choose to open earlier or later that the time listed, or even remain open on Thanksgiving Day.  Click on the link to find individual information on that location.)

Also, check the retailers' web sites, because many of them put their catalogs online along with web-exclusive specials.
