Each year, more businesses are closing up shop for the Thanksgiving holiday.

For those who make a tradition out of waking up bright and early on Thanksgiving morning to go shopping for those promised deep-deep discounts, this could be a large dose of bad news.

Why are more stores closing on Thanksgiving which falls on Thursday, November 22 this year? Two words, online shopping and it's booming this season.
