What Do People Do During December?

Hi All,

I am not US resident. I am curious about what people (especially those reside in US) do during Dec holiday.

When is the start of Christmas public holiday? For how long?
Do people normally take long holiday (> 1week) for Christmas and New Year?
Do they normally travel long distance during Christmas?

Thanks
Casey

 

In December I guess many people are getting ready for Xmas and new year, buying gifts, and all that.

 

I don't go away, only for few days for the new year

 

Eat. Then they eat some more.

I think a lot of people who are able to will take a week, or at least a few days, off at Christmas, and visit relatives. The US is generally a fairly religious country (more so than the UK), so I suppose it's a festival that most like to celebrate.

 

I am sure online shopping is doing very well during Dec as more and more people are shopping for Christmas gift online. I was wondering how this festival would affect publisher's AdSense income.

 

Go for a vacation if I have the money.

 

I guess its party party at XMas / New Year

 

Some people take the week or so off in and around Christmas/New Years. Buying presents usually starts on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. It's crazy the amount of people stores get when they have these sales.

 

december is the month for resting, winter is for resting

 

Party, beach, beer, gifts, x-mas...

 

I'm in the Philippines, most of the people here shop for gifts for their love ones during december

 

i do as little as possible

all my xmas shopping is already finished and i never left the house

saved over £400 pound by doing it all online

 

ahhh......now that sounds nice....But the beach might be cold here ( NY )

 

Usually go outside for 15 days winter vaccation and enjoy good time but this year it is not certain coz of damn busy schedule ...will spend this december with sweet memories.
