What do the French think of Happy Holidays wishes?
According to an OpinionWay survey* posted by Elle in 2020, the tradition of New Year’s greetings has regained meaning with the Covid health crisis. From January 1 following the survey, 88% of those questioned declared that they intended to wish a happy new year; and 63% even specified that, marked by the Covid crisis, they felt the need more than ever to send a word to their loved ones. A good opportunity to show those around you that you care about them even if some of its members are geographically distant.
For 62% of those surveyed, this gesture should be aimed primarily at their friends. Then came the brothers and sisters (52%), then the parents (50%). Often at a distance due to telework measures, 24% also planned to send a message to their colleagues. 70% of those questioned finally recognized that this tradition had the virtue of reconnecting with people not seen for a long time.
