There's a new poll out and that finds 7 out of 10 adults feel like they have to act happier this time of year.
Speaker A:
So, you know, faking the Christmas spirit and all that jazz, 69% feel like they have to act happier than they really are around the holidays, While the other 31% either don't feel the pressure or don't care enough to even pretend.
Speaker A:
57% would describe the holidays as stressful versus 23% who find it relaxing.
Speaker A:
If you're, if you're just trying to make it to January, you are not alone.

Only one in five said that they feel sad, disappointed, or depressed when the holidays are over.
Speaker A:
And lastly, too many parties, of course, can be exhausting.
Speaker A:
As 75% said some holiday events feel more like an obligation than a fun time.
Speaker A:
And 2/3 of us may skip one or two of them this year.
Speaker A:
Now, the whole feeling stressed or being filling, pressured, act happy.
Speaker A:
That would be a lot easier to achieve if we did not have to deal with anyone.
Speaker A:
From today's top six list of the types of people who annoy us most during the holidays.

Well, gather round folks.

Yeah, these are the top six types of people who annoy us during the holidays.
Speaker A:
And don't worry, the South Park Wheel of Fortune episode is not one of them.
Speaker A:
Okay, number six, your co worker who insists on doing Secret Santa.
Speaker A:
I mean, if you already hate everyone at your job and now you gotta buy him a present.
Speaker A:
Come on.
Speaker A:
Now, let's see here.
Speaker A:
Number five, that idiot who insists that Die Hard is not a Christmas movie.
Speaker A:
And I just went that way because I know most people believe it is a Christmas movie, but I'm one of those idiots.
Speaker A:
For the record, it's not.
Speaker A:
Number four, the mall Santa with a fake beard.
Speaker A:
Grow out your facial hair or give the gig to someone who will.
Speaker A:
Poser.
Speaker A:
I mean, isn't that that.
Speaker A:
You know, now you can't voice a character if you don't fit into that label.
Speaker A:
Doesn't that fall under that?
Speaker A:
Isn't that.
Speaker A:
No.
Speaker A:
Number three, the person with elf legs dangling from their trunk or their door.
Speaker A:
It's funny because it's murder.
Speaker A:
Number two, the Thanksgiving host who makes everyone at the table give thanks.
Speaker A:
Come on, man.
Speaker A:
I just want to eat and watch some football and maybe try to figure out if my cousin and his roommate Frank share more than an apartment.
Speaker A:
Come on.
Speaker A:
And the number one type of person who annoys you most during the holidays?
Speaker A:
The drivers who put a red nose on their car, which is completely stupid.

Unless you ran over a clown, in which case it's awesome.
