More Santas, Fewer Scrooges This Christmas
Winnipeg – There should be more Santas and fewer Scrooges in Manitoba this holiday season, as a new Probe Research Inc. poll conducted for Jory Capital and the Winnipeg Free Press finds that fewer Manitobans plan to reduce their spending on gifts this holiday season.

With just two weeks to go until Christmas, just three in ten Manitobans (29%) say they plan to spend less money on gifts and entertainment this holiday season. This represents a seven percentage point drop since last December, when 36 percent of Manitobans said they would cut back on their holiday spending.

The percentage of Manitobans who plan to spend more money this year remains unchanged from one year ago (11%), while the proportion of Manitobans who plan to shell out the same amount they spent last Christmas has increased slightly (from 53% in December 2008 to 58%).
