Black Friday isn't necessarily the best day to do your holiday shopping, especially if you have an aversion to waiting in long lines or fighting through hordes of shoppers. But there are certainly some great deals to be found for those willing to brave the crowds.

And the good news for consumers -- if not for retail employees -- is that Black Friday hours have been expanded more than ever to fit our schedules. Walmart and Sears, among others, are opening at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving, that's Thursday, Nov 22. If you want to see how the New York Jets fare against the New England Patriots first, then shop, other stores are opening at midnight. And if you're an early riser, plenty of retailers are following the traditional course of opening bright and early Friday morning. If you're heading for the Buffalo or Western New York region on Thursday, and want to spend the night, there's a great deal at the Hyatt, especially for Canadian residents.
