Do you ever feel that there's never enough time to do everything you want to do?

If so, you're not alone. A new survey sponsored by Dutch Bros. Coffee asked 2,000 American adults how they spend their time during the holidays. More than half — 52% to be exact – said they try to fit in as many festivities and holiday fun as they can, according to a story on the Good News Network website.

The survey also found that just over half — 54% — wish the holiday season lasted longer, with 59% saying that two weeks would be good and another 40% saying they wouldn't mind an if the Christmas season was even longer than that.

A vast majority — 74% of those who responded to the survey — said that prepping for the holiday season makes them happy. A third of those folks described themselves as the most festive person they know.

Some said they take joy in unique holiday traditions, from special ornaments to wearing matching pajamas or costumes. Some go to a Christmas Eve service while others binge on "A Christmas Story" while still others spend the time creating a gift for those in need.

The classics are a favorite, according to the survey — 72% like to snack on their favorite Christmas treats, 65% like to watch classic holiday movies, 61% said decorating their home in festive holiday style, and 53% said their favorite thing to do is bake Christmas treats for loved ones.

In Bonner County, a favorite tradition is the Sandpoint Lions' annual Toys for Tots drive, which harnesses the joy and love of the holiday season with the kindness of the community's residents to help make Christmas merry for everyone.
