According to a Barclays survey cited by Deltaone, 56% of respondents stated that they have skipped or would consider skipping holiday gatherings due to the inability to afford the costs, while 57% cited travel and gift expenses as major sources of stress. Furthermore, 79% indicated a willingness to host at home to save money, and 78% are willing to cut back on everyday expenses. These figures reflect survey responses regarding experiences or intentions, and do not necessarily mean that all of these individuals have already canceled their gatherings for this year.
