Santa has got to be on a serious CBD regiment to stay so jolly. A new survey says the majority of us find this time of year to be anything but wonderful.
What’s more, 77% of people say they have a very hard time relaxing during the holidays and a ho-ho-whole lot more of us say the holidays are just the absolute worst. Overall 88% of those surveyed said we’re currently in the worst time of the year.Meaning people think Christmas time is more stressful than tax season, flu season, and even Toyota Truck Month.
What exactly is taking the holly out of our holidays?You’ll be surprised to find out it isn’t that Dominic The Donkey song. The truth is, 56% say it’s the extra financial strain that’s causing them to overstress this month. Finding gifts for everyone, stressful family events, and putting up decorations round out the rest of the top four reasons for festive anxiety.
It’s so bad that two in five people say they’d rather go to the DMV than deal with the holidays.Even the Grinch would think that’s a tad excessive.
And while a third of people surveyed said they do not enjoy the holidays anymore because of the stress, there is still some hope for Christmas future. It appears a few of us have learned our lesson and are reeling in our holiday expectations. Half of the respondents say they plan on setting a budget for gifts next time around and 34% said they’re going to cut back on the holiday parties as well.But let’s be honest, they probably say that every year.
