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.

  • Nearly 50% (45.5%) of Americans say that holiday shoppers cause the most stress during the holidays

  • 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
