'Despite recent terrorism, Americans didn't avoid malls. And the anthrax that apparently was sent by U.S. mail didn't seem to discourage them from sending holiday greeting cards. But though most people said they didn't change their shopping habits, a lot more of them folded online activity -- from shopping to downloading recipes and making appointments with friends by e-mail -- into their holiday preparations. In 2001, 29 million Americans bought holiday gifts online, spending on average $392 each, according to the Pew Internet and American Life Project, which surveyed 4,052 American adults.
