There are many holidays, such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, etc. Even though many people celebrate them, we may not know where they come from. One such holiday is Cyber Monday (FYI, Cyber Monday is today!). Where does Cyber Monday come from and what is it? According to Dictionary.com, “Cyber Monday is an annual event during the holiday shopping season that’s devoted to online shopping . . . Cyber Monday takes place on the Monday after Thanksgiving (which is the fourth Thursday in November)” (“What Is Cyber Monday?” par. 2-3). The National Retail Federation began this tradition in 2005, offering lower prices for items sold online to encourage virtual shopping (par. 5). Have you ever shopped online for Cyber Monday?
