Cyber Monday: Too Little, Too Late?

The sales this year have been deeper than ever! 

A shopoholics paradise, mall stores like New York & Company posted Black Friday signs in their window dressings that read "50% Off Entire Store!"

Meanwhile, outlet malls like Potomac Mills opened up at midnight the day after Thanksgiving, while online retailers got a head start by offering deals way in advance of Cyber Monday.
With deals like the ones mentioned above... and the online super sales listed below (some of which debuted a week or more before Black Friday)...

Do you think that Cyber Monday is becoming obsolete?

Just a few of the pre-CM deals that posted early:
  • Bebe.com: 70% off all sale items and 40% off select new items if you click here.
  • Grouponicus: Daily 50% off holiday deals sent to a subscriber's inbox or by going to Today's Deal.
  • New York & Company: 50% off everything through the end of Cyber Monday if you click here.
  • SteveMadden.com: 35% off any online order through the end of Cyber Monday with code:CM35
  • Travelocity: $40 off 3+ nights flight and hotel through 02/28/11 with code:GL40
  • Orbitz: 10% off hotels through the end of Cyber Monday with code:HOLIDAY10
And even more so-called Cyber Monday deals, that started early and last well after the Thanksgiving holiday weekend can be found on Promo-2010.com.

Meanwhile, Back  at the Christmas Tree Ranch...
Bull Run Festival of Lights in Virginia.
If you are looking for a holiday rush that doesn't put a dent in your bedazzled pocketbook... then look no further than these low-key Christmas events... events that don't require you to enter a national lottery in order to gain entry (think National Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony)!

DC:
Capitol Hill: Norwegian Christmas at Union Station. Thursday, Dec. 2 

Maryland:
National Harbor: Christmas on the Potomac. Lights nightly now-Sunday, Jan. 9
Prince George's County: Festival of Lights. Lights nightly now-Sunday, Jan. 2

Virginia: 
Centreville: Bull Run Festival of Lights. Lights nightly now-Sunday, Jan. 9

That's all for now, but there's more to come from DC on Heels in terms of Christmas Splendor, holiday style and party shoes... so stay tuned tuned!
