Holiday retail sales rose 3% year over year if you start in mid-October, says Mastercard SpendingPulse, with the pandemic-delayed

Department stores fell 10%. Furniture was a big winner, rising 16% year over year, and 31% online, while apparel slumped 19%, as folks spent more on homes and less on wardrobes.
