O Holy Night Tops the Charts

White Christmas and the Christmas Song come in second and third

For an autographed copy of the The Way We'll Be, click here.

 

Utica, NY -- Americans prefer signs that it's Christmas starting the day after Thanksgiving, with 59% of adults saying they like to see Christmas lights on homes, store displays, and hear Christmas tunes on the radio the day after Thanksgiving and no sooner (and also no later!), according to a new Zogby poll.

Speaking of Christmas tunes, out of a list of nine choices, we asked Americans to vote for their three favorite holiday songs. O Holy Night was the clear winner with 58% of adults voting for it as their 1st, 2nd, or 3rd favorite holiday song. White Christmas (41%), and The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) (38%) also topped the list. Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer (10%) and Adam Sandler's the Hanukkah Song (9%) received the fewest votes.

Here's the overall ranking:

#1 O Holy Night: 58%
#2 WhiteChristmas: 41%
#3 The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire): 38%
#4 It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas: 28%
#5 It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year: 24%
#6 Trans-Siberian Orchestra's Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24: 17%
#7 Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: 15%
#8 Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer: 10%
#9 Adam Sandler's The Hanukkah Song: 9%

Most Republicans enjoy O Holy Night, with 67% of them voting for it as one of their three favorite holiday songs compared to 56% of independents and 50% of Democrats. More women (62%) than men (53%) prefer this song and considering the strong religious theme, so do adults who attend religious services at least once a week.  Seventy-six percent of adults who attend religious services more than once a week say O Holy Night is on their top three list as do 72% of Americans who go to church at least weekly.  Only 25% of people who say they never attend religious services picked O Holy Night as one of their three favorite holiday songs.  White Christmas leads among those who never attend religious services but only 36% of this group voted for White Christmas as a top three; 16% said either none of the listed songs were their favorite or that they do not listen to or enjoy holiday songs.  

Zogby International conducted an online survey of 2,330 adults from November 4 - November 6, 2009. A sampling of Zogby International's online panel, which is representative of the adult population of the US, was invited to participate. Slight weights were added region, party, age, race, religion, gender, education to more accurately reflect the population. The margin of error is +/- 2.1 percentage points. Margins of error are higher in sub-groups.

Please direct all media inquiries and interview requests for Zogby International President and CEO John Zogby to Stephanie DeVries at 315-624-0200, Ext. 273 or steph@zogby.com.

 

Utica, NY - As the H1N1 swine flu vaccine becomes increasingly available, 46% of adults who are considered by the CDC to be members of high priority groups plan to ignore the CDC's recommendation for vaccination. The Zogby International interactive survey also finds that the top reasons high risk adults plan to skip the vaccine include concern over the safety of the vaccine (38%) and a general sense that they simply do not need the vaccine (32%).

Similar percentages of all adults surveyed nationwide fear the safety of the vaccine (32%) and also feel they do not need the vaccine (30%). Sixty-two percent of adults surveyed plan to skip the H1N1 vaccine; lead by Republicans (74%) and independents (68%), who are much more likely than Democrats (45%) to skip the vaccine. Southerners (69%) are also more inclined than adults who live in other areas to skip the vaccine, about 10 points higher than adults in other regions. Adults who identify themselves as Born Again Christians are also more likely (69%) to skip the vaccine than non-Born Again Christians (55%).

What is a Živnostenský List?

What is a Živnostenský List  A živnostenský list is a business license in the Czech Republic.
If you wish to become self employed in the Czech Republic you will need to use a Živnostenský List.
The law that governs živnostenský list is the 2 October 1991 Trade Licensing Act.
The trade licensing act allows non Czechs to undertake business under the same conditions and rules as those of a Czech citizen.

There was a change in the  živnostenský zakon (trade license laws) in 2008.

Under the old  system, when you registered with the  živnostenský úřad you were issued a živnostenský list. This is no longer the case. If you register to be self employed nowadays, you are entered in the the Trade License Register. What you get from a živnostenský úřad is a výpis.

A výpis is an "extract" from the Trade License Register to say that you are self employed.
There are times when you will be asked to provide your  výpis, such as when you register for health insurance.
The system is being improved and you can now get a výpis from any czechpoint office.


Note: this is about a výpis for a živnostenský list.

A  výpis for an SRO is similar, but, different. A výpis for an SRO is an "extract " from the commercial register. You can get an extract from the commercial register from any czechpoint  office.
