It’s back to the daily grind after last week's turkey, early morning shopping and traveling.

Today is the day that online retailers may receive an early Christmas present. Retail experts market the Monday after Thanksgiving as Cyber Monday, a 24-hour period that is one of the busiest for holiday-related online sales.

I received some statistics about online shopping today in my inbox from Yahoo! Shopping.

Here’s some of the info:

• Compared to the holiday shopping season of 2006, page view traffic is up 37% for the 2007 Holiday season (to date)
