Forget Black Friday, Cyber Monday Has Taken Over

As you're all probably aware, the Friday after Thanksgiving is called Black Friday. It's the busiest shopping day of the year and retailers open stores as early as 6 am. Not only do people begin to shop for the holidays, but they realize that the prices are cheaper than usual, so why not spend, spend, spend.

Personally, I think the name should be changed, it's got a negative appeal. However, maybe it's because our wallets will be empty by the end of Black Friday. Apparently, the consumers are not broke, broke just yet. Today is Cyber Monday, it's becoming the busiest online shopping day of the year. Hope some of these shoppers are friends of mine and are buying my Christmas gifts early.
