FULL STORY:  The movie “Elf” is set in New York, and a big part of the movie involves generating enough “Christmas Spirit” for Santa and his reindeer.

So let me just say:  It’s a good thing that the movie wasn’t set in Anchorage.

A website analyzed a bunch of Google search data to determine which states have the most “Christmas Spirit.”  They didn’t really explain it . . . other than that it’s based on the percentage of festive, Christmassy searches per user.

In the end, the state with the most Christmas Spirit is . . . Utah.  

The states with the most Christmas Spirit are:  Utah . . . Massachusetts . . . Virginia . . . Illinois . . . Washington . . . Texas . . . Maryland . . . Pennsylvania . . . California . . . and New Jersey.

The state with the LEAST Christmas Spirit is Alaska.  Which is the state CLOSEST TO THE NORTH POLE.  

The bottom 10 are:  Alaska . . . Wyoming . . . South Dakota . . . Montana . . . Mississippi . . . North Dakota . . . Maine . . . Vermont . . . Arkansas . . . and New Mexico.
