Interesting that, when offered a gift of peace and hope with sincerity, these people respond with hate. My response: chill out already.

There is no hope for America if all interactions are treated with visceral anger and hate.

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

I know nothing about New Jersey except that our ‘Pal’, Chris Christie used to be Governor.
Where do most these foreigners come from?
Somalia, as with Minnesota-Stan?

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

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

Area Culture

This is their methodology:

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%)

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

Nonsense.

I heard Jesus went onto the NJ beach after they closed it——hence, results of the poll.

They come from every corner of the earth. NYC is their initial destination and north NJ is right across the river.

Most foreigners in NJ are native Spanish speakers. Take your pick. Indian and “Sandies” would come in a close 2nd with various Asians being 3rd.

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.

And Jesus walked on the water.

From a New Jersey liberal newspaper: Alleged Messiah Cannot Swim.

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