Earlier this week comScore put out the usual end of season press release reporting on their eCommerce spending data from November 1 to Christmas Eve.  Given that last year (2008) actually resulted in a 3% decline, the 2009 numbers are quite refreshing.

For the 2009 holiday shopping season, approximately $27 billion was spent online, representing a 5% increase over the same period last year.  Now, there was an extra day this year, so the adjusted increase is still a respectable 3.5%.
