Let’s take a moment to be honest.Most people don’t feel very festive when they think of Illinois, but a recent survey may show that things are starting to change!
Is Illinois a State Full of Grinches?
In December 2022, a report published by getcenturylink.com left my Christmas-loving heart feeling somewhat let down. The findings essentially indicated that whereas our northern friends in Wisconsin were slaying it with holiday cheer (no, I’m not referring to cocktails here), Illinois’ Christmas attitude was relatively drab.
Two years after Century Link’s 2022 study, which based its findings on the quantity of Christmas-related searches conducted in each state, another company has conducted a similar study with significantly better results for Illinois.
The Most Christmassy U.S. States
Perhaps it’s just my optimistic side speaking, but the results of the website Preply’s 2024 Christmas Spirit Index gave me optimism that Illinois is becoming into a place that is far more Cindy Lou Who and less Grinch.
So how did Illinois get such a good ranking? People in this state are probably busy looking for everything from the greatest Christmas cookie recipes to local holiday light displays, or they might just be looking for the ideal present and fresh ideas for bringing joy to the season. Illinois, you’re off!
Now that you’re feeling festive, here are some additional Christmas activities you should take in Illinois this year.
