In addition to the time dedicated to family and friends, Christmas promises us something else - something whimsical, something magical, something we know and love as "Christmas Spirit."
Christmas Spirit manifests itself in all of us, in the ways we prepare for and celebrate each Christmas season, and comes in three main forms. Which of these resonates with you the most?
ECSTATIC
These people are the easiest to spot. They're the ones who practically squeal every time someone even whispers the word "Christmas." We all know these people... In fact, all of us at Ornaments for Keeps are probably more ecstatic about Christmas than a lot of people we know! (Of course, you kind of have to be to work at the best personalized ornament shop in the Midwest.)
You might be "ecstatic" if...
- Your countdown to Christmas begins in July - if not earlier.
- You begin shopping for Christmas decorations before it's even Halloween.
- Your least favorite day of the year is December 26th, because that's the farthest away from Christmas next year.
- You buy your family a brand-new customized Christmas ornament every year.
INDIFFERENT
People with "indifferent" Christmas Spirit are sometimes the hardest to spot; their casual indifference allows them to blend in to almost any setting. Personally, we can't understand how someone could be indifferent to Christmas, but we know these people exist!
You might be "indifferent" if...
- You begin Christmas shopping in the beginning of December.
- You'll go to a Christmas party if you're invited, but you never plan one yourself.
- You put up just enough Christmas decorations to keep the neighborhood kids happy.
BEGRUDGING
Yes, even Scrooge has a form of Christmas Spirit! We like to call this form "begrudging" because, like it or not, these people still participate in Christmas to some extent. They can't walk into any store without hearing Christmas music played over the radio or drive down the street without seeing at least a few twinkle lights. Whether they like it or not, Christmas is unavoidable!
You might be "begrudging" if...
- You want to lock yourself in your room the first time you hear Christmas music.
- The Grinch is your hero.
- You save your Christmas shopping 'til just a few days before Christmas - if you even go at all.
What do you think? Which form of Christmas Spirit are you? (Hint: If you're reading this... You're definitely NOT "begrudging"!)
