Men are bigger Scrooges than women in the UK, but most countries in Europe are looking forward to Christmas

To mark Christmas Eve, the EUROPP editorial team decided to bring you an alternative piece of research. Based on a recent YouGov poll on attitudes toward Christmas, EUROPP editors Eri Bertsou and Stuart Brown assess which demographic groups most look forward to the holiday. Despite the wide variation in attitudes among UK citizens, they note that people across Europe are still largely positive about Christmas, with only those in France indicating that they don’t look forward to the festivities.
