People lining up outside stores on Thanksgiving and Black Friday are not an unusual sight. Some people even wake up so early in the morning to get in queue before doors open to take advantage of the doorbuster deals offered by various retailers. 

Although more stores choose to close on Thanksgiving, others are welcoming consumers by either opening during the holiday or later in the afternoon. Some Walmart branches are open 24 hours, perfect for those who has not shopped for their Thanksgiving dinner yet. Meanwhile, some retailers are opening their doors as early as 5 a.m. on Black Friday.
