This survey is about the Christmas spirit - myth versus reality.

1. When I was growing up in the UK, a phrase that was quite common in stressful situations was "count to ten". Doing this I find helps avoid instinctive and impulsive reactions that can cause destructive consequences. Road rage is one of them. Being polite is another way to avoid road rage. Here are some stats about road deaths in various countries. I think politeness and stress coping can lower these stats. Which of these countries do you think have road rage as one of the biggest contributors towards road deaths?

2. Christmas time also sees a blip in the murder rate for reasons similar to road rage. This is a time of year when our patience, tolerance and stress coping skills are put to the test. "Count to ten" and "keep calm and carry on" are tools to reduce the temperature in the kitchen and elsewhere. Which of these murder rates do you think would be lower if one simply counted to ten instead of reacting impulsively?

3. While happiness isn't solely a Christmas metric, countries consistently ranked as happiest globally, like Finland, Denmark, Iceland, and Sweden, are known for strong social support, work-life balance, and festive cheer, making them ideal spots for joyful Christmas experiences. Even though you can't visit there you can have a Scandinavian kind of Christmas. Which of the following will you try to do this Christmas?
