Thinkstock 122614 WallStreet?  SQUARESPACE CACHEVERSION=1419628438716tarabird/iStock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — Wall Street continued its strong run during the holiday season, with all three major indices posting gains and new record closes for the Dow and S&P.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 23.50 to a record close of 18053.71.

The Nasdaq climbed 33.39 to 4806.86, while the S&P 500 ended the session at a record 2088.77 — up 6.89 from its opening.

The day after Christmas is considered the second-busiest shopping day of the year, in part due to the number of returns. UPS says it expects to handle four million returns by the end of the first week of January.
