I read these results from the BIGreasearch American Pulse Survey and it reminded me of a few quotes from A Charlie Brown Christmas.

Sally: “Please note the size and color of each item, and send as many as possible. If it seems too complicated, make it easy on yourself: just send money. How about tens and twenties?”
Charlie Brown: “TENS AND TWENTIES? Oh! Even my baby sister!”
Sally: “All I want is what I have coming to me. All I want is my fair share. “

Lucy Van Pelt: “Say, by the way, can you play ‘Jingle Bells’?”
[Schroeder proceeds to play "Jingle Bells", which sounds like a traditional grand piano]
Lucy Van Pelt: [interrupting] “No, no. I mean “Jingle Bells”. You know, deck them halls and all that stuff.”
[Schroeder begins to play again, with the piano sounding like an organ]
Lucy Van Pelt: [interrupting again] No, no. You don’t get it at all. I mean “Jingle Bells”. You know, Santa Claus, and ho-ho-ho, and mistletoe… and presents to pretty girls…
[gazes lovingly at Schroeder, who then out of frustration taps one key of the piano while playing "Jingle Bells", which sounds like a child's toy piano]
Lucy Van Pelt: THAT’S IT.

• 70.9% like it when employees wish them a “Merry Christmas” while shopping
