HOUSTON (KIAH) — The second Easter of the pandemic will arrive Sunday, and even though COVID-19 is still here, you may be wondering just how much it’s going to affect normal holiday routines this year.
A new WalletHub survey compared the differences in what people are planning this year and what they did last year.
According to the survey, 55% of people will stay home to celebrate Easter this year compared to 68% last year, and Americans are 23% more likely to celebrate with friends and family this year than last year.
Along with that finding, the survey showed that the coronavirus has made Americans more grateful for their family (39%) than health (29%) or freedom (12%).
