Many people in Malaysia indicated in an online survey they would prefer to spend the holidays with Santa Claus rather than the U.S President, the Queen of England, the Pope or even Prince Charming.
The survey conducted by LG Electronics, ran from November 11th to the 23rd and asked what people want as the holiday season draws near. People across the globe participated in the survey and when posed with the question about their dream holiday, the majority of Malaysians preferred to spend it by going on a luxury cruise. Vacationing in the snowy Alps was a close second. And the number one holiday song in Malaysia? Not surprisingly, it is the best selling song of all time - "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby. That hit was followed by the ever-classic "Jingle Bells".
