There are two kinds of people during the holidays: the ones who want EVERYTHING done exactly the way itโs always been done, and the ones who are ready to shake things up. And then thereโs a third group that doesnโt care as long as thereโs food and drinks. ๐
Well, apparently, a lot of Americans are getting tired of the same old holiday routine.
A new survey found that 44% of Americans are bored with how they celebrate the holidays, and 67% are planning a โsecret twistโ to their celebrations this year. ๐
So, what exactly are people changing?

The most popular idea is switching up the traditional holiday menu. That could mean replacing some of the usual dishes, trying completely new recipes, or finally admitting that nobody actually likes Aunt Lindaโs green bean casserole. ๐ฅ
Others are planning to decorate differently, while some are taking things a step further by celebrating in an entirely new location.
Of course, changing holiday traditions isnโt always easy. Thereโs almost always someone in the family who wants everything done the same way itโs been done for the last 30 years. (You know who you are, Mom. ๐)
And then thereโs usually someone else whoโs completely over the routine and wants to try something new. (Looking at you, daughter!)
The trick is finding a way to mix the old traditions with the new ideas. Keep the things people genuinely look forward to, but donโt be afraid to add something different. And if youโre the one planning the big holiday twist, maybe donโt leave all the work for someone else!
Who knows? Your little experiment could end up becoming the new family tradition for years to come. Or it could be the reason nobody lets you host Thanksgiving again. ๐
So, what do YOU think? Are you a traditionalist who wants the holidays done the same way every year, or are you ready to switch things up? And whatโs one holiday tradition youโd love to change? ๐๐
