Once Halloween and Day of the Dead have passed, Christmas feels closer than ever: the time for shopping for delicious food and items you've been waiting for all year is here. However, this time may be different because those of us with tourist visas still cannot cross over to the "other side".

This is bad news, since Las Americas Premium Outlets has published an update of its schedule so that its visitors can have more time to do their holiday shopping. However, it announces that neither Thanksgiving or Christmas Day will be open.

On the other hand, the new schedules are as follows: all this week (from November 2nd to 7th) they will be open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., except for Sundays, which are only open until 7 p.m.

On November 21, the famous "Black Friday" will be open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. What about you? Can you cross over? And if you can: do you usually visit Las Americas Premium Outlets? Leave us your comments.
