Driving around town trying to figure out what's open on Thanksgiving Day is one of the worst ways to spend the holiday.
- Especially if you pull up to a place that Google Maps says is open, only to find that it isn't.
Why it matters: People celebrate in many different ways, from hibernating all day around food to keeping it low key as though it's a normal day.
The big picture: Around 91% of Americans plan to celebrate Thanksgiving in some way this year, per a Pew survey. Adults born in the U.S. are more likely to celebrate the holiday than immigrants, the survey found.
Yes, but: Most businesses are closed on Thanksgiving, including Costco, Sam's Club, Aldi, Target and Walmart.
- That's where going to the movies or driving around lights displays can help kill time.
