In
1863, when Abraham Lincoln proclaimed that Thanksgiving Day was to be national
holiday each year, he could not have imagined the eventual evolution of Cyber
Monday shopping. Beginning this holiday season the fingers of shopping
stretched into Thanksgiving Day! Many “brick and mortar” retailers decided to
open up even earlier than midnight on Black Friday by offering deals starting
as early as 8pm on Thanksgiving night. Perhaps it’s a step for “brick and
mortar stores” to ensure their fair share of the holiday sales prior to the
largest cyber shopping day of the year, luring shoppers into stores with door
busters and must-have deals. Only time will tell if their tactics are
successful.

do list? Or did you stay in and enjoy the company of your family a little
longer? We’re curious what you think about the holiday shopping craze?
