Internet Christmas

Holiday shopping on the Web surges to $20.6 billion

"On Monday, Dec. 11, consumers set a single-day record of $661 million for online spending. Two days later, that record was broken as consumers spent $667 million online."

Wow. There's been some speculation from pundits that the Monday Christmas might hurt Internet retailers because of delivery problems over the weekend, but a 25% increase from 2005 holiday sales doesn't sound very painful to me.
