Christmas

A Survey For Santa

Regardless of religion, few things put Americans in a good mood like Christmas. And most usually start thinking about it right after Thanksgiving in November. A collection of some recent holiday-minded surveys shows just how holiday-minded Americans are: 91 percent of children up to the age of 6 believe in Santa; 67 percent will leave him a glass of milk on Christmas Eve, while 36 percent will leave something "slightly stronger" (NOP World). He may not be the only one who needs that extra boost: 66 percent of singles say they've stayed in doomed relationships because they didn't want midholiday breakups; 3 percent said it was because they wanted the extra present (Match.com).
