What's open and what's closed on Thanksgiving in Mass.

Let's face it, there's not much to do outside of the home on Thanksgiving. And for most folks, that's a feature of the day, not a bug. We hope you have a wonderful and restful day, however you choose to spend your time.

And if you need help this Thanksgiving — or you're able to provide financial or volunteer help — there are plenty of hard-working local organizations that would love to hear from you.

Here's the staggeringly closed list:

Federal offices: Closed.

Federal courts: Closed.

Post offices: Closed.

State offices: Closed.

RMV: Closed.

State courts: Closed.

Municipal offices: Closed.

Public schools: Closed.

Libraries: Closed.

Trash pickup: Check with your local government or provider. Boston residents can check for pickup delays by searching their address here.

Banks: Closed.

Stock market: Closed.

Retail locations: Closed.

Liquor stores: Closed.

Supermarkets: Closed.

MBTA: The bus and subway systems will run on a Sunday schedule. The commuter rail will run on a weekend schedule. You're out of luck if you want to take a ferry.
