The holiday season sure is tough on kids: Posing for endless photos . . . those itchy sweaters . . . being forced to “help decorate” . . . and the mandatory hugs from relatives they barely remember. BUT – in the end, it’s all worth it.
A website surveyed 2,000 Millennial parents with young kids, and asked them what “things kids get excited about during the holidays.” And here’s the Top 10:
1. Gifts . . . 81% of kids get thrilled by presents.
2. Holiday lights and decorations . . . 72%
3. Holiday foods and treats . . . 67%.
4. Time off school for winter break . . . 66%
5. Holiday entertainment . . . 62%.
6. Family traditions . . . 60%
7. Snow . . . 52%
8. Outdoor activities . . . 51%
9. Staying up past their typical bedtime . . . 44%
10. Seeing extended family . . . 43%.
Back to GIFTS . . . the #1 answer . . . the average kid will ask parents about presents 51 times during the holiday season, which is about TWICE a day.
And (EARMUFFS!) . . . the top place parents hide gifts is in closets. In their bedroom is second, followed by in their car . . . in the basement . . . and in the garage. (I’m surprised “in their storage unit” didn’t make the cut.)
