Rural residents are less likely to be confining their celebrations, with only 40% celebrating with immediate family. An additional 30% of rural residents will celebrate with fewer people.<\/p>\n<p>Other precautions include wearing masks (35%) and forgoing physical greetings (32%).<\/p>\n<p>Travel has been reduced &#8211; while half of Americans typically travel for Christmas, only 34% plan to do so in 2020. Those living in the Northeast are most likely (41%) to still plan travel this Christmas season (same day travel most commonly).<\/p>\n<p>\n        <em>\u201cIn the US, a significant number of people, particularly those in the Northeast, and members of GenZ, are still planning same day or overnight travel over the Christmas holiday period.\u201d,<\/em> says Lori Reiser, Principal Consultant at Advanis, who conducted the survey of Americans.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Messaging Clear &#8211; in most regions<br \/><\/strong>\u2154 of Americans have heard messaging about safer Christmas gatherings. Messaging has the highest penetration in the Northeast (66%) and lowest in the Midwest (52%). Half of our participants say that there are mandatory bans on holiday gatherings in their area (highest in the West at 60%, and lowest in the South at 38%).<\/p>\n<p>Generation X is most worried about the impacts of COVID-19, perhaps taking on worry both for their children and for their parents (\u2154 have kids in the home, and more than half have a family member at high risk for COVID-19).<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Expecting things to get worse before they get better<br \/><\/strong>68% of Americans expect COVID-19 cases to rise after Christmas (significantly lower than the 81% of Canadians who feel this way in a similar survey). Country-wide, there is modest support for bans on large gatherings (58% strongly\/somewhat agree) &#8211; and the majority support closures of school and non-essential businesses to reduce spread (66% and 57% respectively). 62% plan to keep their families isolated for a few days after the holiday.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <em>\u201cDespite government interventions in many regions, Americans expect an increase in COVID-19 cases after Christmas. Many are planning to take action to keep their families isolated, and would support government interventions in schools\u201d,<\/em> says Reiser.<\/p>\n<p>There is stronger support for current rules &#8211; only 22% strongly agree that current rules have gone too far, and only 21% strongly agree that religious services should be exempt from gathering limits.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Vaccine hesitancy exists, low support for mandating vaccinations<br \/><\/strong>Only 59% of Americans assert that they will for sure get vaccinated when it is available (a further 19% are unsure). Only 50% feel that the COVID-19 vaccine should be mandatory. Vaccine hesitancy is higher among women (51% of women vs. 70% of men plan to get vaccinated), and only 46% of rural residents and 36% of African Americans plan to get vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>While Americans worry about older relatives, Americans 60+ are less worried about themselves<br \/><\/strong>Although 65% of people under 60 are worried about potentially impacting their older family members, only 42% of older people are concerned about their own health during a Christmas family visit, perhaps because they have chosen to isolate themselves more: older Americans are less likely than younger Americans to be attending a celebration (48% vs. 62%).<\/p>\n<p>Older Americans are more likely than younger Americans to plan to be vaccinated &#8211; 69% of those over 60 plan to be vaccinated when available, compared to 56% of those under age 60. Despite this, only 44% feel that vaccines should be mandatory.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Spending Less<br \/><\/strong>Half (48%) of Americans plan to spend less on gifts, decorations, and food this Christmas season, with those negatively impacted financially by COVID-19 most likely to be spending less (60%). 48% of Americans are very (19%) or somewhat (29%) pessimistic about the economy. Only 34% expect that 2021 will see a return to normalcy. Negative financial effects are most likely to be felt by American households who earned less than $40K\/year prior to COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Advanis<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Advanis is a privately owned Canadian market and social research firm founded in 1990 and known for its innovation and responsiveness.
