Cyber Monday is a marketing invention that was first observed in 2005 by online retailer shop.org. Seen as an online version of Black Friday, Cyber Monday was created to allow customers to shop online from the comfort of their offices and homes.
Shopping for Christmas presents is very popular on Black Friday. Many stores have special offers and lower their prices on some goods, such as toys. Some people use this to make trips to see family members or friends who live in other areas or to go on vacation.
National Take a Hike Day is held on November 17th and is a day for people to get together to walk through forests, parks, riversides and mountains in order to commune with nature and to bond with their fellow hikers. Many cities and countries have professional hiking associations that organize hiking trips around the year. Research has shown that hiking can have many health and social benefits.
