Two-thirds in North West UK say Christmas is too commercial, seeking tradition and community through Christingle events supporting children’s well-being.
A new poll by the Children’s Society finds that two-thirds of people in the North West, including Cumbria, believe Christmas has become too commercialized, with many longing for childhood traditions like tree decorating and caroling.
Half in the region express interest in community events like Christingle, which emphasize togetherness and meaning.
The charity is hosting over 2,000 Christingle events across the UK, including dozens in Cumbria from December 17 to 24, to support children facing loneliness, mental health issues, and abuse.
The initiative encourages participation through donations, volunteering, or joining meaningful traditions to restore the season’s purpose.
