SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — As the holiday season kicks-off this week, new research shows that if given the opportunity, more than one-third (39.9%) of Americans would skip the holiday season this year due to the stress associated with it. Additionally, more than one-third of 18-34 year-olds are getting stressed about the holidays earlier than in previous years – according to a new survey announced by Total Brain, a mental health and fitness app.

These statistics are based on new findings from the 2019 Total Brain survey of 1,000 Americans 18-55+ years old. Other results from the survey include:

  • Nearly 50% (45.5%) of Americans say that holiday shoppers cause the most stress during the holidays
  • 27% of Americans with children begin to feel stressed about the holiday season by the beginning of November
  • If they could remove one thing from the holidays, more than 30 percent (31.7%) would eliminate Black Friday, nearly 20 percent (17.2%) of those with kids would remove the Elf on a Shelf tradition while nearly 15 percent (14.6% ) of Americans would remove Starbucks holiday cups from the holiday season
