I know some traditions are dumb. But would we really be okay ditching the heavy-hitters like this?
A poll asked 2,000 Americans which MAJOR Christmas traditions they'd be open to getting rid of . . . and GIVING GIFTS made the top five.
1. Sending Christmas cards.
2. Ugly Christmas sweaters.
3. Gift-giving.
4. Secret Santa gift exchanges.
5. Christmas music.
The rest of the Top 10 are watching Christmas movies . . . Elf on a Shelf . . . Christmas lights . . . holiday treats . . . and decorating your tree is 10th.
They also asked people to rank some NEW traditions they'd swap in . . .
1. Spend all day in your pajamas.
2. Focus on quality time together instead of gifts, decorations, and meals.
3. Take a vacation.
4. Have a themed Christmas, like "tropical Christmas" or "Christmas in pajamas."
5. Go on a quiet, personal retreat. So . . . a vacation WITHOUT your family.
The rest of the Top 10 is a big breakfast instead of a big dinner . . . spend the day volunteering. Only D.I.Y. gifts are allowed. Friends are allowed only for Christmas, and no family is allowed. Instead of gifts, give handwritten letters of gratitude.
