Speaker 1 (00:00):
Please stuber in the den with dangerous Day. Well, there's
a huge holiday poll. They looked at various activities we
have planned this month, and here's what Americans are doing
for the holidays this year. Eighty six percent of a
celebrating Christmas honaker another winter holiday. Eighty seven percent of
those will put up decorations, Seventy five percent listening to
Christmas music. Seventy five percent will also watch at least

(00:23):
one holiday movie this year. Seventy percent planned to look
at lights, and sixty percent hope to have at least
one hot cup of cocoa. Forty eight percent will attend
at least one holiday party, and forty four percent at
least sending one card, Forty two percent attending in a
religious service, and twenty two percent hope to kiss somebody
under the mistletoe. Nineteen percent will build a snowman in

(00:44):
fourteen percent a snow angel. Most Christmas mornings will have
fewer than ten people in attendance. Thirty nine percent said
five so immediate family, however, five percent will have twenty
or more. Two thirds of parents will hang stockings to
fill for a Santa, and forty five percent kids will
leave out milk and cookies on Christmas Eve, I leave
out beef sticks and beer because you know, sometimes santalites

(01:07):
to mix it up in the two. If you're looking
to get a gift for a coworker, probably not a
good idea to surprise him with a pet turtle that
might outlive them. Somebody conducted a poll on holiday etiquette,
and some of the fascinating results include giving a gift
with a full price tag on it. Fifty six percent
of people say it's unacceptable. Giving a child a gift

(01:28):
of a toy gun. Forty percent of people say it's unacceptable.
Giving a pet is a gift. Thirty eight percent say unacceptable,
especially if it's a surprise. Yeah, you might want to
know that they actually want a pet before you get
them one. Not giving a gift to somebody who gave
you one thirty seven percent say not cool. Giving a
gift that's secondhand or used thirty four percent said unacceptable,

(01:49):
and not giving a gift to a close family member
twenty nine percent say not cool. Asking for cash as
a gift twenty nine percent say not cool. Throwing away
wrapping paper instead of recycling or using it. Twenty eight
percent of people say don't do that, and includes ninety
eight percent of grandmother's. Giving somebody else's child a gift
that makes a lot of noise, twenty eight percent say

(02:10):
as unacceptable. I say it's hilarious. Giving a gag gift
instead of a serious one. Twenty eight percent say not cool.
Regifting twenty five percent unacceptable, giving a gift that's unwrapped.
Twenty four percent said not acceptable, asking donations instead of
giving a gift, sixteen percent said not cool. Waiting until
the last minute to shop for gifts fourteen percent say unacceptable,

(02:31):
and returning or exchanging gifts ten percent of people say unacceptable, Well,
maybe you should get something better. Giving a gift after
the holidays seven percent say unacceptable, and giving cash as
a gift only four percent say that's unacceptable. I think
cash is a great gift. One other thing. It's not
gift related, but it is holiday related. That's unacceptable. I

(02:52):
learned that today. I've learned my lesson. I cannot wear
my missiletoe belt to work backwards too. They came for
