FULL STORY: 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. (The definition of “traditions” is a little loose.)
