“Oh ho, ho, who wouldn’t go?” If the subject is the store for Christmas decorations and you’re reading this, the answer is probably you! We get it, the hordes of people get scary around this wonderful time of the year. Even if we’re wrong and you just haven’t gone because you don’t know what you want for your Christmas decor, we still understand.
Actions speak louder than words or wreaths. That’s why we’ve made this quiz that lets BrainFall do the shopping for you to maximize holiday cheer. Do you need to show your Christmas spirit with a subtle tribute to the Holy Spirit? The right garland or wreath conveys that you’re receptive to those on Earth this Christmas. If Santa is your favorite among them, there are always cute plates, figurines, and fudge cookies to honor him with. Perhaps you’ll find out Saint Nick ain’t it and the snow is where to go! A sizeable Christmas tree alerts everyone that you’re keeping up with the Joneses, and not the Clauses or Jack Frosts.
Christmas decorations complete the gauntlet of the giving season just as much as the perfect present. Christmas decorations predate Christ himself, and they were first seen over 2,500 years ago in ancient Rome. People decorated their homes with wreaths and evergreen boughs during Saturnalia. The festival ran from Dec. 17 through Dec. 23 and honored the Roman god of seed Saturn as a bridge between harvest's end and the upcoming spring's hopeful fruitfulness.
Nowadays, consumer analysts expect the Christmas decoration market to grow to over $7.5 billion in revenue by 2030. Every easy Christmas tree adds up to approximately 30 million sold every year. More than a billion candy canes enjoy the evergreen view from the decorative and/or snack plates. Santa Claus's vitality is in much better shape than the scenery sacrificed for sweet tooth satiations. About 85 percent of kids under five and over 20 percent of U.S. adults still believe in Santa.
