You've snoozed off the turkey, wrapped up football, and washed dishes. But the relaxation is over—it's time to do your part in boosting the economy and tackle Black Friday. Whether you consider the shopping "holiday" a tradition or a necessary discounted purchase, know that there WILL be lines to queue up in and traffic to inch through. Here we've assembled opening times for 10 Massachusetts malls and outlets to help you plan accordingly. And remember, the state's Blue Laws prevent stores from opening on the actual Thanksgiving holiday, so nothing will come between you and a second helping tomorrow.
