It's less than two weeks until Christmas! I've been hearing the word "Kuribocchi" (= I'm alone at Christmas) for a few years now, but how do you all spend Christmas this year (2015)?

The results of a questionnaire surveying the Christmas situation of the world to be worried about have been announced by the pastry maker MONTEUR! Let's take a look at "How to spend Christmas", which was surveyed by 600 women in their 20s and 40s.

■ Who do you spend Christmas with?

1st place: Family (59.8%)
2nd place: Alone (14.2%)
3rd place: Lover (12.3%)

Approximately 60% of women answered "family" to the question "Who will you spend the main Christmas event with?" In Europe and the United States, it is common to go home and spend Christmas with your family. I personally think that the ideal way to spend Christmas is to eat chicken and cake while watching the "Home Alone" DVD in a warm room.


On the other hand, when focusing on unmarried women who do not have a boyfriend, 36.2% answered that they would spend time alone, followed by "family" at 32.4%. Christmas and Eve are weekdays this year, and it's not strange that a large number of hard-working girls are outbreaks. I would like these girls to be proud that " I am running the current Japanese economy " and spend time alone.

By the way, 5.3% of the respondents answered "friends", and 11.9% of women who were unmarried or had no lover.


■ Do you buy or make cakes to eat by yourself?

1st place: Buy (52.8%)
2nd place: Someone other than yourself buys or makes (5.8%)
3rd place: Handmade by yourself (4.5%)


More than 60% of the respondents answered that they would prepare a cake for themselves to eat. In the breakdown, more than half of the respondents answered "buy", and I was surprised that some people "handmade" a little. Making a cake just for yourself is too female. I am a buyer.

Furthermore, when asked why they prepared cakes, "reward for themselves" was the most common at 66.3%, followed by "because it was Christmas (season)" at 35.8% and "stress relief" at 24.1%. .. I think it's good, please give a reward to yourself who is always doing your best. However, "stress relief" is a little worrisome in terms of mental hygiene ...


■ Where do you spend Christmas?

1st place: Home (75.5%)
2nd place: Restaurant (12.2%)
3rd place: Houses of people other than yourself (5.6%)

When asked where to spend Christmas, more than 70% answered that they were at home. Even if they have a lover, 45.7% said they would spend their time at home. It's a weekday, so I wonder if everyone wants to spend time at home rather than going out somewhere.


■ What do you want to be most luxurious for Christmas?

1st place: Meal (49.0%)
2nd place: Christmas cake (26.2%)
3rd place: Present (19.8%)

When asked, "What do you want to be the most luxurious for Christmas?", The result was that overwhelmingly more people answered meals and cakes than gifts (I'm relieved that they tend to eat food). I don't think I'm disrespecting presents, but as Christmas dinners and cakes with a special feeling are appearing one after another every day, everyone's antenna for food may be becoming more sensitive.


It's easy to get confused because the whole city fuels a romantic mood, but it's up to you how to spend Christmas. You can stay at home, go out, or go out for a drink at the end of work alone. In any case, why don't we just go for Christmas and dinner once a year?
