> In this report, we rank all 50 states for Christmas cheer by factors including evergreen farm numbers, charitable giving, and how often residents online shop, stream, and tweet Christmas content.
The number of farms is probably constant year-to-year and I'll make a guess that charitable donations are fairly consistent too. That means it's mainly a measurement of online stalking. Since we're #1 that means we spend too much time on social media and online shopping while not using adequate ad blocking. In other words we don't have many real-life friends? That sounds right.
This report is from an ISP. Apparently they're tracking what people do online and decided to make random reports from that data. Perhaps someone is trying to justify the data collection or their job.

How do you think this is measured?

Wa state comment: Up on the old olympic peninsula the cheer is very high, beautiful lights all over. Down south near Portland, Or along the columbia river, christmas decor gets stolen off your porch along with packages. Do NH folk have to worry about such things?

Very few places is this an issue. We do have challenges with opiate addiction like most places and our social safety net is pretty weak. So theft for drugs comes with the territory. But i would some of this is mitigated by positive cultural forces- education is good and the decent people far outweigh the baddies.

Oklahoma does not accept these results.

What are they measuring or is this just arbitrary? Honestly the map coming from an ISP is in itself concerning…
