that’s because it’s populated by mostly foreigners ...

Too many Festivus creeps.

I read the list top to bottom, and I believe I have seen today’s fake news.

BS NJ MEDIA hates Christmas....
So does it’s PBS...

[ZinGirl]

Wait...if NJ is 47th in “least Christmas-friendly” states...then NJ is pretty happy about it.

[Da Coyote]

And, given the state of New Jersey, evidently the universe hates them back.

What a PATHETIC survey methodology! There seems to be one big, important thing missing in their assessment of "Christmas spirit." Can you spot it?

Online Activity

• Google searches for Christmas movies and gingerbread houses (29%)
• Google shopping trends for wrapping paper, Christmas cards, Christmas ornaments, and “Elf on a Shelf” (28%)
• Christmas music streaming (14.5%)
• Tweeting about Christmas (7%)

Area Culture

• Number of Christmas tree farms per capita (7%)
• Charitable giving (14.5%)

Christ likely hates New Joisy, I bet.

This is their methodology:

So a bunch of Google online usage, tweets, and likelihood of your locale having tree farms - no wonder Washington topped the list.

Nonsense.

So many of you are sucked in by completely fake news like this and play along because it panders to some preconceived notion you have.

At this point in your lives, you should not still be this easily manipulated by such nonsense news articles.

Who cares! What happens in foreign countries is of no concern to me...

It’s New Jersey, where people boo funerals. I know, I grew up there.

Edison is EXTREMELY “diverse”....Asia, Middle East, etc. nowhere near what it was 20 years ago.

Looking at the Christmas lights on many homes in many other towns I’d question accuracy.

NORTH Jersey, they mean. which sadly dominates the state and has turned it into one of the worst places in the USA to live for freedom loving people. But still, one portion of the state is somewhat less insane at least but has no real say in anything.

[Jerseygirllurker]

You know I’ve got to jump on here and defend the great state of New Jersey. Its a BS conclusion stemming from seriously flawed methodology. You all just love to hate us! We love holidays of all kind - we’re very festive people here in New Jersey!

News 12. Figures. I live here. This station is a typical New Jersey Democrat party organ grinder monkey. Christmas isn’t any different here than anywhere else in America. In some places like in Ocean, Monmouth, Warren, Sussex, Cape May, and Bergen Counties to name a few Christmas is done in wonderful splendor, trust me.

[shanover]

All NJ media is complete vomit. They are desperate to keep the a-hole governor afloat because he is despicable as he destroys the state and furiously tries to cover up a rape of a woman by one from his administration.

[jmaroneps37]

This is from The Onion right?

Florida 48 and Maine number 5! Really Maine is probably the least religious state in America.

[fellowpatriot]

47th for the least friendly Christmas states? That means that there are 46 other states that top them in being less friendly towards Christmas.

[lowbridge]

Thats ok. Everyone hates new jersey.

Their two only good contributions to the world are comedian lou costello and the tv show, the sopranos.
