The Amazon.pl and IBRiS study aimed to check, among other things, whether we are attached to tradition when it comes to Christmas. What emotions accompany us when preparing for Christmas Eve dinner and how do we choose gifts for our loved ones? – this was also the subject of the survey.
What turns out? While we still value certain traditions, we are increasingly moving away from them in some respects. For example: last year, 64 percent of Poles spent Christmas at home, surrounded by their loved ones. This year, as many as a quarter of respondents – i.e. 26 percent, according to a statement published on November 22 by the Amazon press office – would like to go away during Christmas, e.g. to warm countries or to the mountains.
Christmas Eve. Poles prefer to go to warm countries instead of breaking the wafer at the table?
Among those declaring their willingness to go abroad, the most dominant group is Generation X, i.e. a group of people born between 1965 and 1980 (22%), as well as women – 20%. Indeed, we hear more and more often that Poles choose non-traditional ways to spend the holidays. Internet users let us know about it, among others: in comments and messages. At the beginning of December, for example, we received a letter from one of our readers, in which she wrote that she was going to the mountains with her husband for Christmas this year.
“When I think about Christmas, I’m not very happy. It’s all because from my youth I only remember it through the prism of cleaning and cooking. When we sat down at the Christmas table, everyone was so tired of the preparations that we immediately went away. sleep. I don’t remember it well because I have the impression that my parents killed the true spirit of Christmas in our house,” she wrote in the message.
I love my parents, but my husband and I are spending this year’s holidays in the mountains and that has already been decided. I treat going on holidays as a way to rest and get to know the world, not as a departure from tradition. Of course, my parents don’t understand it, but I don’t feel guilty because I’m a free person and we can have a family meeting anytime, we don’t necessarily need a Christmas tree or Christmas Eve dinner. I am a free man and I will do what I want, not what people expect from me, even those closest to me.
– said the author of the letter.
Christmas. Poles still like to give gifts to their loved ones
But the November study by IBRiS and Amazon showed something else. Well, it turns out that we always love giving gifts. The report showed that as many as 75 percent of us plan to give Christmas gifts to our family. According to the study, an average Pole will spend on average PLN 650 on gifts.
Many people decide to shop much earlier to take advantage of promotions and catch Black Friday. The survey showed that this strategy is more often used by women who look for gifts earlier and, as a result, pay less for them. Men, on the other hand, declared that they do their Christmas shopping a month earlier, which exposes them to higher expenses.
