What are you doing this Christmas?

It’s officially December…which means there’s no stopping Christmas now!

A new Vacationer poll asked people about what holiday activities they plan to do this year…the results:

  • 74% of Americans will enjoy at least one big meal with family or friends
  • 65% will do a gift exchange
  • 53% will decorate
  • 48% plan to do some baking
  • 47% will be traveling for the holidays…but not too far from home
  • 40% will venture out to look at other people’s light displays
  • 38% will take part in a family tradition of some sort
  • 33% will go to at least one holiday party
  • 25% will attend a religious service
  • 17% will light candles (Happy Hannukah, BTW!)
  • 12% will volunteer
  • 10% plan to sing songs or go caroling…how fun!  

6% of those polled say they’re doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING this holiday season!

“Bah, humbug!” or “Brilliant!”? Your call! 🤣
