According to the site,

The overall Holiday Spirit for Christmas ranking is determined by factors such as search trends for different holiday terms, the rate of holiday shopping on Google, and the results of the survey of 1,000 Americans.

I'm not so sure how scientific this survey is, but it's fun to consider.

I mean we do seem to have a lot of Christmas spirit.

According to the survey, people in New Jersey have a holiday spending budget of $2051.17, which is 5th most in the country.

The survey found that people in Maryland have the highest budget at over $2700, and West Virginia with a budget of $355, is ranked last.

Overall, New Hampshire is said to have the most Christmas spirit in the country, while  Washington, DC is dead last.

Overall, the 5 states with the most Christmas spirit are,

🎅 New Hampshire

🎅 Wisconsin

🎅 Utah

🎅 West Virginia 

🎅 Pennsylvania

Just because someone has a small Christmas budget, that doesn't mean they lack spirit.

West Virginia, for example, spends the least but ranks number 4 overall.
