HP Study Shows Canadians Too Busy to Enjoy Holidays

According to a new national survey from HP Canada and Ipsos Reid, the vast majority of Canadians (96%) say spending quality time with family and friends is what is most meaningful around the holidays. But one in five Canadians (21%) are too busy with holiday preparations to do exactly that. Interestingly, even though many Canadians (72%) say receiving the gift they want is not important, almost half (48%) find that shopping and wrapping gifts takes up most of their free time during the holidays.

HP Canada wants to inspire Canadians by showing how they can spend valuable time together and save time and money on holiday preparations, with the launch of HP Holiday Headquarters.From festive ornaments and decorations to gift boxes and photo calendars, HP  Holiday Headquarters offers a huge selection of easy, affordable and time-saving templates, plus advice and tools to make this year’s holiday season preparations a truly enjoyable opportunity to bring family and friends together.

HP Holiday Headquarters also offers Canadians particularly meaningful tools to personalize their greetings this season. Asked how they will express holiday greetings this year, nearly a third of Canadians (29%) plan to write cards and letters and approximately the same number (30%) say they prefer to receive cards or letters.

I will be using my own HP Deskjet D2430 for printing over the holidays!
