For two years running, we’ve seen the myth of “Cyber Monday” reported over and over again as fact. The story, made up by a bunch of marketers, is that the Monday after Thanksgiving, all those turkey-stuffed employees are not so interested in working, and so they’ll log on to the internet from the office and buy holiday presents. Of course, as was noted last year, the Monday after Thanksgiving is traditionally the twelfth busiest online shopping day, not the first.
