Americans Won’t Let 2022 Ruin A Perfectly Fine Christmas

Americans Won’t Let 2022 Ruin A Perfectly Fine Christmas

With everything that’s going on in the world, be it the war in Ukraine, the violent response to Iran’s protest movement, or, more domestically, the inflation crisis and the looming recession, people would be forgiven for not really getting into the Christmas spirit this year.

But, as Statista’s Felix Richter notes, according to findings from Statista’s Global Consumer Survey, most Americans have no intention of skipping the festivities this year, though…

with 44 percent of respondents say they’ll still buy gifts for friends and family this year and 34 percent defiantly saying that nothing would stop them from getting into the Christmas spirit.

At the other end of the holiday cheer scale, 14 percent of respondents said they’d celebrate less this year because of all the things going in the world and another 14 percent said they’d travel less this year.

Meanwhile 26 percent said they’d reduce their holiday spending and 18 are planning to celebrate less because of the economic and political situation in the United States.
