Are Americans over holiday gatherings?

Thirty-nine percent of Americans said that this is their busiest holiday season yet, according to new research. Conducted by Talker Research for the Chinet brand, a survey of 2,000 adults looked at how respondents’ winter social calendars have evolved from last year. Although many are feeling busier than ever, Americans are slowing down compared to last holiday season: on average, respondents will attend three gatherings this year, down from five last year. Those surveyed are comfortable with this change, too, as only 36% wish they were attending more gatherings this year compared to 62% who wished for the same last year.
