When it comes to Christmas shopping, there’s very little appeal in battling crowds on the high street and spending half the weekend queuing in a shopping centre. Therefore, it may come as no surprise that online shopping enjoys an annual boom over the festive period. So much so that specially-created events off the back of such buying habits have now become tradition, such as Cyber Monday. Online holiday shopping continues to grow in popularity. According to American Express, for the first time, more people are expected to shop online on Cyber Monday than visit brick and mortar stores on Black Friday.
