🎄 Americans Reveal Their Favorite Holidays |
America just celebrated the Fourth of July. |
In addition to Independence Day, it also happens during the heart of summer and involves fireworks, hot dogs and being on or in the water. |
It made us wonder: what are America’s favorite holidays? |
YouGov recently conducted a survey, and the results are clear. Christmas is the national favorite. Thanksgiving claims a clear second place. |
After that, the debate for No. 3 is full of disagreement. Halloween, Easter, Mother’s Day, Fourth of July, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day make strong cases. |
YouGov didn’t ask “what is your favorite holiday?” Rather, it asked Americans “which comes closest to your view about the following day?” The six potential responses for each day: |
This is my favorite day of the year. I enjoy this day more than an average day. I enjoy this day about as much as an average day. I enjoy this day less than an average day. This is my least favorite day of the year. Not sure. |
As a result, the percentage that said “this is my favorite day of the year” adds up to much more than 100%. Still, here is the top 10 based on “favorite day” results: |
Christmas: 36% Thanksgiving: 23% Halloween: 15% Easter: 13% Mother’s Day: 13% Fourth of July: 12% New Year’s Eve: 12% New Year’s Day: 12% Father’s Day: 8% Valentine’s Day: 8% |
The margin of error on the survey was 3.7%. So six different days could claim the No. 3 spot. |
Plus, for example, the Fourth of July had just 12% say it’s closest to their favorite day of the year vs. 15% for Halloween. But for the second option, “I enjoy this day more than average,” the Fourth of July drew 42% of the responses. Halloween got just 28% there. |
Super Bowl Sunday got the second-highest percentage for “this is my least-favorite day of the year” at 13%. |

| Full Show: Clark to USAA: Treat Members Better and Never Put Your Money With Big Banks |
|
|
USAA was once known for its stellar treatment of customers, and Clark has been a USAA member since the 1970s. But recently, we’ve received several complaints from readers, listeners, and callers about USAA’s lack of customer service. Now, members are saying that the company is doing little to help protect their accounts from hackers. Clark reviews the issues and shares if he is planning to leave USAA as a customer. Also, Morgan Stanley was just in the news because the giant is being sued for paying customers such poor rates. Clark explains why it’s so important to avoid big banks and where you should put your savings instead. |
