Black Friday and Cyber Monday

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in which crowds of consumers are drawn to special offers and sales by retailers.  Cyber Monday is the Monday after Thanksgiving in which there are exceptional online sales from retailers.  Personally, I prefer Cyber Monday over Black Friday.  Black Friday is very stressful because there are so many people hunting and fighting for great deals.  It gets overwhelming and tiring.  On the other hand, Cyber Monday is great.  You can sit on your couch with your laptop and shop and get awesome deals and sales.  You do not have to leave your house, wait in line, face the other consumers or waste time looking for the right size.  I think the concepts of Black Friday and Cyber Monday are fun because it gets you into the Christmas and holiday spirit.  However, I do not think that Black Friday should start Thanksgiving evening. It should start on Friday.  Thanksgiving should be spent with the family, not out shopping, hunting for bargains.  Also, it is unfair to the employees that have to come in and work.
