Let’s be honest, not EVERYTHING about the holidays is awesome . . . unless you’re, like, seven years old.  Some things just feel like more trouble than they’re worth.

A website recently suggested various “Christmas traditions” . . . and then asked people whether they’re really still GUNG-HO about it . . . if it’s just so-so . . . or if it’s something that they secretly despise.

Thousands of people weighed in, and these were the responses:

1.  Secret Santa . . . 54% of people are still enthusiastic about it.

2.  Snow . . . 42% love it.

3.  All presents MUST be opened on Christmas Day.  No exceptions.  41% are hardcore about this.

4.  Christmas music.  41% think it’s great.

5.  Christmas movies.  41% of people need to watch them this time of year.

6.  Christmas carols.  36% of people would go out and subject others to their singing to feel the Christmas spirit.

7.  Christmas decorations.  29% of people are still enthusiastic about it.

8.  Hosting Christmas parties.  27% want to entertain over the holidays.

9.  “I’m offended if someone says they don’t like Christmas.”  26% of people take the holiday that seriously.

10.  Ugly Christmas sweaters.  25% are still obsessed with this.

11.  Baking cookies.  25% love that.

12.  Putting Christmas trees up before Thanksgiving.  21% just can’t wait.

13.  Christmas family photos.  14% of people are really into it.

14.  All Christmas shopping is done by Black Friday.  14% actually do this.

15.  Making Christmas cards.  11% of people not only send out Christmas cards, but they apparently “make” them.
