It's almost time to eat so much food and take a turkey-induced nap on your parents' couch!

Thanksgiving is coming up this long weekend, so if you have plans to stuff a turkey and whip up some fixings, you better buy your groceries ahead of time because a lot of places will be closed on October 10.

Seriously though — you'll want to go before all the reasonably sized Butterball turkeys are wiped clean from the shelves and you're left with a 20-pound monstrosity.

So, whether you're hosting your own dinner or just need a bottle of wine to bring to someone else's home, here's what's open and closed in Ontario for Thanksgiving Day on Monday, October 10.
