Santa Claus is making his list and when he checks it twice, he’ll find that South Carolina was very nice when it comes to Christmas spirit.
According to a report from GetCenturyLink.com, South Carolina is in the top 10 for having the most Christmas spirit every year.
According to the final rankings in CenturyLink’s report, South Carolina cracked the top five, coming in at #3 in the entire country.
Researchers used six key metrics to determine which states have the most Christmas spirit: Google searches for Christmas movies, online shopping, Christmas music streams, tweets about Christmas, the number of Christmas tree farms per capita, and finally, charitable giving in the last documented year.
On the bottom end, Hawaii, Florida and Montana will find themselves on the naughty list. For Florida and Hawaii, it’s the second straight year they’ve been at the bottom. The warm weather probably isn’t a coincidence; seven out of the 10 states with the least amount of holiday spirit are in warm climates.
The code of generosity, kindness, and charity toward others is enforced by no one other than ourselves. There are places where this code is strong, and these places, or people, are said to have strong Christmas spirit.
Because of its wonderful people, South Carolina is one of them.
