DEERFIELD, IL — For most, Thanksgiving offers a chance to gather with friends and families and consider all the reasons to be grateful. It is also one of the year's busiest times for traveling and the eve of the biggest shopping day of the year.

Skip the holiday crowds and start shopping these Black Friday deals now!

But not everyone will have the day off. In addition to those doing essential work — like firefighters, police, transit workers and transportation security agents — many employees of large corporate retailers will be away from their families on Turkey Day to give consumers a chance to pick up some last-minute items or get a head start on their holiday shopping.

In the Deerfield area, many businesses plan special holiday hours during Thanksgiving week. Most government offices will be closed and the refuse collection schedule will be adjusted.
