The Fun And Fuss Season

Whatever your (religious) background, hardly a soul will not notice that the end of another year is approaching. The way to spend these last days of the year vary a lot more. And maybe it’s this variety that makes it hard, if not impossible, to predict peaks or lows in the behaviour of so many people and underline these with a pausible explanation. The name of Cyber Monday, the first day after Thanksgiving weekend, is used by some to indicate the warming up to the Christmas Sales. The explanation of the rise of sales online around that particular day, is that people had a long weekend having visited shopping malls and use the day after to buy them. Personally, I don’t see any reason to push a button on that day, knowing there are so many others left to have a real shopping. Of course, buying online has its advantages, I’m not arguing with that. But each year shows that most purchases that I got in a real shop, are the most successful ones. It might be a bit more fuss, but also a lot more fun. Image by Photobucket/Nolick
