The FINANCIAL — As Americans crowd stores nationwide, most still prefer being greeted by signs that say “Merry Christmas” rather than “Happy Holidays.”
According to the latest Rasmussen Reports survey, just one-out-of-four Adults (24%) like “Happy Holidays” instead. Sixty-nine percent (69%) prefer that stores use signs that say “Merry Christmas.”
Women favor “Merry Christmas” slightly more strongly than men.
Married adults like “Merry Christmas” more than adults who are not married, but there's little difference of opinion between those with children in the home and those without.
When it comes to holiday shopping, 49% of Adults consider it a fun experience. For 34%, it's an unpleasant chore. Fifteen percent (15%) rate it somewhere in between.
Most (64%) say they’ll take an easier approach to holiday shopping this year by doing it online.
Americans are being a little less frugal this year, but 58% still say they will spend less on holiday gifts this year than they did a year ago.
