Online holiday sales up 19 percent — can't you do any better?
Online shoppers spent 19 percent more this holiday season than last year, according to ComScore. It's a big number, but not as big as last year's 26 percent jump. ComScore chairman and chief wonk Gian Fulgoni says you people did a pretty good job considering the "economic challenges facing consumers this year as a result of higher gas prices, lower home values and a jittery stock market." I say suck it up and buy some more free stuff off eBay next year.
