GUILDERLAND - Holiday shopping is now in full swing. Several big box stores were already open for business on Thanksgiving. Others were gearing up for Black Friday madness.

Most stores in Crossgates Mall were scheduled to be open from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Thanksgiving – but many were open much earlier than that – including JCPenney and Best Buy.
