A new study looked at ten different metrics to see which states have the most Christmas spirit.  They factored in things like google searches for Christmas movies, shopping trends for ornaments and wrapping paper, Christmas music streaming habits and how much people give to charity this time of year.

According to the results, the state with the most Christmas spirit is Washington.  The top ten states for Christmas spirit are Washington, South Dakota, Utah, Missouri, Maine, Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, Virginia and North Carolina.

Alaska ranked LAST in Christmas spirit.  The ten states with the lowest level of Christmas spirit are Alaska, Hawaii, Florida, New Jersey, Michigan, Nevada, Minnesota, Arizona, California and New Mexico.

Looking around Chicago, I would say Illinois easily belongs in the top 10, but at least we aren’t at the bottom!
