This He's deeper in the Den with Dangerous Day. A
new poll ask people what they use as a Christmas
tree topper. Most people go with one of the two
boring options. Forty five percent of people said some kind
of star, twenty one percent said an angel. Those are
the most conventional toppers. Eleven percent of people said something else,
six percent said they go the ball drought nothing on top,
(00:22):
fourteen percent don't even have a Christmas tree. Two percent
said they weren't sure what they put on top of
the tree, which is kind of a strange thing that
you don't know what you put up there. They didn't
ask what something else might be, but some of the
conversations online about unique toppers include a bow, a snowflake,
Rudolph had Santa Claus Missus Klauser, the Santa had last
name initial, cut up toilet paper rolls covered in glitter.
(00:44):
Sounds like crafty children at least, I hope, a turkey puppet,
the Baby Jesus, an alien, and a Yoda from the
Star Wars dressed as Santa. So those are some of
the things put on the top of a Christmas tree.
Deeper in the you know, almost everybody enjoys getting Most
people enjoy giving gifts. I know I do. Almost no
one enjoys buying them. I'm kidding. Well, let's be honest.
(01:06):
Gift giving has gotten pretty extreme over the last couple
of years. Some of the gift giving debates you can
weigh in on. Twenty percent of people said they expect
to get gifts from their boss this year. Cash would
be the best thing, like a bonus gift cards will work,
to the second most popular answer, though extra paid time off,
followed by a gift certificate to a store or restaurant,
a physical presence such as tech gadget, or an item
(01:27):
of clothing. Least popular item to get from your boss
is an invitation to the holiday party. Here's your Christmas
gift show up. In a survey on toys, fifty four
percent of Americans say kids have too many toys now
before opening this year's presence now. Older folks were most
likely to say that. Twenty two percent say kids have
about the right number of toys, and seven percent said
(01:48):
too few. Sixteen percent of adults said they have too
many toys growing up, and fifty eight percent said they
have the right number. Nineteen percent said too few. Seventy
five percent of adults say it's cool for parents to
tell family members to limit the number of toys they
buy for their kids. Older folks more likely to say
that as well, did you have enough toys when you
were growing up? I don't know. I got some pretty
cool stuff when I was a kid, but for some reason,
(02:10):
I was liked what my two older brothers had better.
