Extended Holiday Hours for Malls Near Albany

Many area malls and grocery stores have extended their hours for the holidays.  So if you're like me, have no fear!  You can still shop tonight even after the kids go to bed or after you're done doing the million and half other things you have to do in order to earn money to buy holiday gifts. Or if you forget that one ingredient for your green bean caserole, you'll still be able to hit up the store.
