PayPal P2P Holiday Greetings

Christmas is almost here and I haven’t checked everyone off my list yet. We all know how hard it is to get everyone the gifts they want (even if you aren’t waiting until the last minute). Holiday gifts are great, but the reality is, many of them are just going to be re-gifted or hidden in the back of a closet. Yet even though we’re all thinking it, it can be a little awkward asking for money as a gift so you can buy that bag you really want.

The good news: You are not alone! PayPal’s 2017 Holiday Money Habits study found that money is the most-wanted gift for the second year in a row, and 52% of Americans wish they could ask for cash instead of traditional holiday presents this year.
