REI announced that their stores will be closed the day after Thanksgiving, claiming that they want their employees to get outdoors. I sort of suspect that the real purpose is some free advertising, but perhaps I'm becoming a grumpy old lady?

Actually, I never shop the day after Thanksgiving--I hate crowds. Should the weather not be too bad (although late November here often has the wettest weather of the year), I might even go hiking!

Even if the purpose is advertising, it's a nice idea. I wonder how many REI employees will be out doing their own shopping?
