FULL STORY:  The holidays are just around the corner, which is really exciting for the people who LOVE social gatherings.

Of course, there are also people who are secretly hoping that there’s another pandemic or something so they can just stay home . . . watch TV . . . and drink their own booze on their own couch. 

According to a new survey, Americans may be getting TIRED of holiday gatherings.  The average person is planning to attend THREE big social events this year, which is down from FIVE last year.

Most people are still planning on Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners . . . but fewer people are doing get-togethers for Friendsgiving and New Year’s Eve.

And many people are FINE with this:  Only 36% of people say they wish they were attending MORE gatherings this year, compared to 62% last year.
