Merry Xmas & A Happy New Year To All

WASHINGTON (AFX) -- Amazon, the giant online retailer, said on Friday that
the latest holiday season was its "busiest" ever. The company, seen as a
bellwether for purchases made on the Internet, said it set a single-day record
for items ordered -- 2.1 million. On the day before Christmas, Amazon said
70,000 gift certificates were ordered. On Dec. 15, 630,000 people visited the
site during one 60-minute period, the company said. Amazon's results could be a
signal of strong sales for online retailers in general.
