After an extended holiday weekend filled with food, friends and family, Eleventh Hour is here to inform you on what Cyber Monday has to offer you.  ‘E-tailer’ as they are known are pushing some of their biggest online sales today, making it convenient for holiday shoppers to get a head start from their own computer.  Although the Web consists of about 10 percent holiday shopping mix, online sales are said to be up more than 19% compared to the numbers of a year ago.

Although online sales have been leaked around this long holiday weekend, Cyber Monday was originally coined by the National Retail Federation for shoppers who didn’t have internet access at home and returned back to work the Monday after turkey day to catch the online sales opportunities.  Nowadays with the internet available on basically every street corner, this once optimum online shopping day has now lost a little of its luster.

Sites such as Amazon.com, Target.com, EBay.com and Walmart.com are biggest online companies offering Black Friday-like specials online.  Before getting an early start on your Christmas shopping here are some strategies for safe online shopping.

CNBC below takes a look at the craziness that is “Cyber Monday.”

Matt Suttner wishes the best of luck to the estimated 96 million online shoppers.
