(ARA) - Decorating, cooking, clean up and more. Once
it comes to preparing for a image perfect holiday season, there is one holiday elf that’s busy at activity -- Mom. According to the KidzEyes Holiday Will List and Habits survey, 64 pct of kids say that their moms bear the forcefulness of responsibility for fashioning sure the Christmas season is bright versus a mere 1 pct who say dad makes his fair share.
While the stress associated with the multitude of seasonal tasks could easily turn mothers into Grinches, 50 pct of kids say their moms handle the holidays like snow angels. Girls are a little tougher on mom with 52 pct claiming mom is a little crankier during the hustle of the holiday season (less than 50 pct of boys say so).
This year’s KidzEyes Holiday Will List & Habits survey -- conducted annually by KidzEyes, a specialized youth market research division of C&R Research -- uncovers how (and if) families share holiday-related responsibilities, what’s hot and what’s not on kids’ will lists this year, whether kids actually believe in the jolly man in red and what they believe is the true meaning of Christmas.
“Our annual Holiday Will List and Habits survey has become a recognized vehicle that gets at the heart of what kids are thinking about, doing and desire for during the holidays,” aforementioned Robbin Jaklin, president, C&R Research. “The results provide a glimpse into what is beyond any doubt kids’ favorite time of year.”
As the primary holiday gift buyer, what should moms be purchasing
for to give their little angels? It is for certain not clothes, which once more appears at the really bottom of kids’ will lists. Natural philosophy continue to take the top spot (37 percent) followed by hard, cold cash (30 percent) and toys (21 percent). Boys tend to want natural philosophy more than girls, serving to vault them to the top spot among kids.
This year kids have gift giving ideas of their own. Once
asked what they would-be give their parents if they could give them simply one “big” gift, 45 pct aforementioned a vacation, 27 pct aforementioned home clean up assistance, 16 pct aforementioned money and 12 pct aforementioned time off work. Here are several of the different things kids are language simply about the holidays this year:
Holiday Hustle -- Mom versus Dad

Done . . . Much than half (54 percent) of kids say that moms are the chief holiday cook. Only 4 pct say dad dons an apron. And, moms (47 percent) not dads (one percent) clear the home in preparation for the big day.
* It’s a Guy Thing . . . Dad’s domain seems to be the tree with nearly one-quarter of kids language that golf shot up the tree is their dad’s main job. But, the truth is, dad puts his little elves to activity as 50 pct of kids say it’s actually a job the whole family shares.
* It’s a Family Affair . . . Eight out of 10 kids (87 percent) say that decorating the tree is a family tradition -- thing
they do together. Nearly two-thirds say the whole family pitches in once
it comes to decking the halls.

Styles -- Mom versus Dad . . . According to kids, 25 pct of dads shop for their wives the week before Christmas, patch another 13 pct say their dads are scouring the stores on Christmas Eve. In sharp contrast, 55 pct of kids say their moms shop for their adoring husbands a month before the big day, with only 5 pct who say that their moms wait until one week before Christmas. Less than a pct say their moms are out purchasing
frantically on Christmas Eve.
