The only thing I see with those graphs is that someone that isn't me is making a shitload of money, and that occasionaly they have shitloads of money spikes.

My point in including the Amazon.com graph is to show that Christmas/Thanksgiving effect is clearly shown in both 2009 and 2010, whereas the spike(s) in 2009 are not. So, no, it does not appear to have anything to do with that.
