Green Monday Only 12 years old, this young retail holiday was coined by eBay in 2007 to describe the biggest online sales day in December.

It’s also, specifically, the last Monday with at least 10 days prior to Christmas — which is important if the gift you bought needs at least 10 business days to arrive. Stores tend to offer some great deals on Green Monday, with prices that can go head to head with Cyber Monday and Black Friday. Read more at National Today
