More than half of Americans agree there is one family member most likely to bring drama to annual holiday gatherings ? and it's not an in-law
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Nearly three in four Millennials (70%) would cut one member of their family from the holiday celebrations if they could "uninvite" that person without consequence ? much higher than the 52% of US adults overall who would do so. And only 18% of Millennials (age 26-41) say their annual family holiday gatherings are drama-free, compared to the 39% of Boomers and Seniors (age 58+) who feel the same way.
These are just a few of the generational differences uncovered in a survey commissioned by expert platform JustAnswer today. In the YouGov survey of 1,169 US adults, JustAnswer sought to get a deeper look at some of the annual family strife that causes people to seek professional help from therapists and etiquette experts on its platform every holiday season.
Here are a few of the key findings from the JustAnswer Holiday Drama Survey 2022:
More than half of Americans (51%) agree that there is at least one member of their extended family that is most likely to cause a fight or bring drama to holiday celebrations.
However, 60% of Millennials agree that there is one member of the extended family who is most likely to stir things up at the holidays compared to only 40% of Boomers/Seniors

Interestingly, it was not an in-law who would be the one person most likely to get the boot. Actually, "An Aunt/uncle/nephew/cousin" is most likely to get uninvited to a holiday gathering if people could trim the guest list.
"Lingering or unresolved family issues" are the main cause of drama at holiday gatherings among total adults, with 15% naming this as the #1 cause.
"Certain abrasive personalities" (cited by 12%) and "Clashing beliefs or values" (11%) were also cited as top causes.
"Alcohol" and "Politics" tied for fourth in the rankings at 9%.
