While a lot of people look forward to the holidays because it’s their chance to get to see extended family, for a lot of people that won’t be happening this year, which is putting a damper on the season.
A new survey finds:
- 60% of Americans say they likely won’t see their loved ones at all over the holiday season.
- 41% plan to skip their usual extended family holiday gatherings.
- The main reason is an obvious one, with 86% saying keeping their family safe and healthy is their main priority this season.
- For 57% of people, it will be the first time they’ve missed a family gathering.
- While folks would like to stay connected, the idea of doing it over the computer isn’t appealing to many.
- Only a third are planning a Thanksgiving video call, and a quarter hasn’t made any plans yet.
