Happy Thanksgiving. We have a couple of holiday polls today. How will you shop for the holidays this year? Will you spend a lot less, go shopping at retailers on Black Friday, or do your shopping online? And how will you entertain yourself this year? Will you watch movies or TV, enjoy music, play with tech gadgets, play video games, or engage in unplugged activities?
