Black Friday and Cyber Monday may steal the spotlight, but how about some love for the day before the really big day? Thanksgiving eve is the second-biggest sales day for many grocery chains; travel volume is high, although the Sunday after Thanksgiving has surpassed it as the year's busiest; and the Butterball Turkey Talk-Line racks up the second highest-number of calls (9,000 last year, versus 11,000 on Thanksgiving). Maybe we should call this economic bridesmaid Runner-up Wednesday. -- DL
