I pick cyber Monday, no two ways about it. I went shopping on black Friday one time, about five years ago and I swore that I would never, ever try and do that again. I’ve kept that promise and intend to always keep it.
I remember last year hearing something about cyber monday, but I really didn’t understand what it was all about, I wish that I had known because it seems so easy, but you can bet that I will use it this up and coming holiday season.
My sister sent me the link Cyber-monday.org and I have passed it along to my friends to pass on because it is that cool. It is real easy to purchase Cyber Monday items online that are offering sale prices and discounts from all kinds of merchants. You can even set it up to where you will get an email to alert you when new sales come up. My sister and I use several of the merchants that participate, especially around the holidays, so I’m sure lots of other people use them also, like Wal-Mart, Best Buy and I’m sure that one of my sisters will love the Urban Outfitters bargains.
Just think, no more getting up at 3:00 in the morning the day after Thanksgiving (which is such a long and tiresome holiday to begin with). No more standing in line in the cold along with hundreds of other bargain thirsty shoppers that do nothing but bitch and moan and complain the whole time you are stuck in line with them. And not having to worry about getting pushed and shoved and cursed at and no more screaming children that have no business being out at that time of the morning, who should be home in bed sleeping off the previous night’s huge turkey dinner and long drive home from Grandma’s house.
This year I’m gonna be right there – on the Internet – along with tons of other people that I don’t have to see, hear, touch or smell, participating on Cyber Monday. We will see how well I do and I want to hear how well my sisters make out also. It will be interesting, I’m really looking forward to it, but am glad that it isn’t for another 10 months from now.
