Black Friday’s grip on holiday shopping is loosening. The day will account for only 48% of the $68 billion spent between today and Sunday, down from 60% in 2000, according to one estimate. Retailers are offering specials earlier and earlier in the season, and social media and shopping apps are making it easier than ever to score deals online. That's not all.
