Adobe expects that when the final tally is in, consumers will spend between $13.9 billion and $14.2 billion for the day, making Cyber Monday the biggest online shopping day of the year- and setting records for that day."
"U.S. consumers already spent $11.8 billion online during Black Friday, $6.4 billion on Thanksgiving Day and another $11.8 billion over the weekend - exceeding Adobe's forecasts.

Purchases made across Cyber Week - the five major shopping days between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday - provides a strong indication of how much shoppers are willing to spend for the holidays."
