DEC 2, 25.. CYBER MONDAY (on Tuesday).. POPCORN.. GULLIBLE..
IF (that BIG IF) you have been following us here on dotnet, you know that I have (at least in my own mind) “A Question for NATIONAL TODAY”.
THAT Question is simply: Why do you (fairly often) have two separate Holidays about the same topic?
In Sunday’s Post (1 / 2) I wrote: Cyber Safety Sunday takes place annually the Sunday before Cyber Monday.
Well below we have .. Taa Daa .. Cyber Monday (ON Tuesday December the 2nd by the way!).
It’s a wonder NATIONAL TODAY didn’t have three individual Computer oriented Holidays last Sunday!
Now let’s see how much it differs from last Sunday’s (NOV 30 Part 1 of 2) Cyber Safety Sunday and National Computer Security Day.
Cyber Monday is celebrated the Monday after Thanksgiving weekend. Established in 2005, Cyber Monday is the Internet’s answer to brick-and-mortar holiday shopping. Unlike Black Friday, Cyber Monday gives you the chance to shop those amazing Black Friday deals from the comfort of your couch or office.
Now THAT’S a real difference. Cyber Monday is about shopping for computers.
Cyber Monday has steadily grown as one of the major shopping days of the year.
Cyber Monday Tid-Bits..
Only 14% of Cyber Monday shoppers are 45 years old or older.
Almost half of Cyber Monday shoppers are between 25 and 34.
Many employees plan to shop at work.
Many employees plan to skip work to shop on Cyber Monday.
Many employees are less productive at work on Cyber Monday because of the deals.
Cyber Monday lasts anywhere from 24 hours to seven days.
There you have Cyber Monday.

Patti and I really enjoy popcorn. At home we pop it in a large Wok. When we are on the road we purchase very large bags of popcorn at Sam’s Club.
Below is a “Fun Looking” NATIONAL TODAY Holiday.
The Business of Popping Corn Day is an annual holiday celebrated on December 2.
Business of Popping Corn Day celebrates Charles Cretors and his invention — the popcorn machine in 1885.
Cretors did not invent popcorn, but he’s widely regarded as the person who put popcorn on the map.
In the 19th century, most people made popcorn by holding long-handled wire boxes filled with kernels over fires that, although effective for home consumption, were inadequate for commercial success. It was Cretors’ machines, invented through his C. Cretors & Company in 1885, that soon made it practical for people to get into the business of popping corn.
As we said above, we like to give you access to NATIONAL TODAY’S website in case you would like to read more.

Why two? People or companies pay to have days named. It’s just business.
