Now that Thanksgiving is in the books, it’s officially time to haul out the Christmas decorations. While there’s no right or wrong way to deck the halls, one expert says the way we do it can reveal a lot about us. “We all have the chance to infuse our energy into our everyday objects,” explains Inbaal Honigman, a tarot card reader at Tarotoo.com. “The fact that you can bring your energy into your Christmas decorations is a beautiful way to embrace the spirit of the season.”
Here’s what your Christmas tree decorating style says about your personality, according to Honigman:
- “The Outgoing Socializer” - This person’s tree is full of color, ornaments with pop culture references and is all about being “loud, proud and fun.”
- “The Minimalist” - This one is low-key with simple wooden ornaments and just a few white lights, so it doesn’t “overwhelm the space around it.”
- “The Maximalist” - These folks don’t care what anyone thinks and their trees are over the top with ribbons, lots of bright lights and every single inch is covered.
- “The Nature Enthusiast” - True nature lovers may have a tree with rustic, forest-inspired decorations, like pinecones, dried fruit wood and a reclaimed wood base.
- “The Cat Person” - Knowing that curious cats and valuable ornaments don’t mix, this person creates a cat-friendly tree that’s smaller, loaded with shatterproof ornaments and secured to a wall to make sure it doesn’t get toppled.
- “The Sentimental Family Person” - They put up every single ornament their kids ever made and would never get rid of any of those cherished memories.
- “The Quirky Creative” - This type likes to challenge the idea of what a Christmas tree should look like, they go unconventional with design, shape and colors.
- “The Tech Enthusiast” - Displayed in front of a digital firepit, their tree is covered in LED lights that change colors with patterns and can be controlled from a smartphone.
