The holidays can be rough on kids — uncomfortable sweaters, endless photos, being forced to “help decorate,” and hugging relatives they barely remember. 😅👵🤶
But don’t worry… there are some perks. Mainly: PRESENTS. 🎁😂
A new survey asked Millennial parents, “What gets your kids the MOST excited this time of year? ”Here are the Top 10 holiday hype triggers for kids:
1️⃣ Gifts – 81% of kids freak out over presents
2️⃣ Holiday lights & decorations – 72%
3️⃣ Holiday foods & treats – 67% (…mostly sugar 🍪🍬)
4️⃣ Time off school – 66%
5️⃣ Holiday entertainment – 62% (movies, shows… not “tipsy Aunt Susan” 🍷😂)
6️⃣ Family traditions – 60%
7️⃣ Snow – 52% ❄️
8️⃣ Outdoor activities – 51%
9️⃣ Staying up late – 44% 😴
🔟 Seeing extended family – 43% (mostly cousins… definitely not tipsy Aunt Susan again 😆)
Back to #1: GIFTS 🎁The average kid asks about presents 51 times during the holiday season — that’s about twice a day.
