Are you an online shopper like me for the holidays? I’ll tell you what, I didn’t used to be, until the lengthy lines, and hot malls with overcrowded walkways and even more crowded, stuffy stores, was suitable to build me into an online shopper/connisseur quicker than you can say “Cyber Monday”. Anyways, that’s what today is called, or has been cleverly coined by the marketing industry, as a day that humans shop online, or the biggest retail sales day of the year - online that is.

I’ve heard both ways though. I’ve heard that it’s just a myth that today is Cyber day, the biggest online shopping day of the year, and I’ve additionally heard that it’s a myth that Black Friday, that infamous Friday after Thanksgiving when everyone rushes the stores for those early bird specials and other deals, is additionally a myth, and the biggest holiday shopping day is actually one that is

usually closer to the big day itself.

Either way, there were apparently some great deals to be had online whether you’re an avid holiday online shopper, but I wouldn’t know what they were considering I was at work, and it doesn’t precisely bode well whether the boss goes by and everytime sees you on Amazon.com or some other such site.

Keep your credit cards in check, remember, but whether you must, at least use something like one of your best airline credit cards, so you can earn those airline miles while making purchases for family and friends, or even better, load and use a prepaid credit card, so that you have all your spending planned out in advance, and that way you can be certain not to go by your credit card spending budget for Christmas, as so many citizens unwittingly do, uh, including me!
