ESTP: A Yard Bonanza

Let's be honest, for you, decorating the inside of your home isn't nearly as much fun as the outside. You love the freedom you have to string up blinking Christmas lights and grace your yard and roof with large decorations that anyone can see for miles. Your competitive edge means you love to be the most eye-catching in the neighbourhood and for those who drive by to see just how hype you are for the Christmas season.

ISTP: Fuss-free

You are far from a grinch, but you aren't a fan of all the fuss when it comes to decorating for the holidays. You'll probably go for a tree, but mostly you just stick to the everyday decor in your home and spruce it up a little. Whether it's ensuring you use white plates and light a few candles or grab some blankets that just happen to be holiday colors, you won't go out of your way to buy new things when you can repurpose what you already have.

While you have a total appreciation for traditional options, you also feel the pull towards a modernized spin. You'll still embrace classic staples like a tree, yet you'll use elegant ornaments to decorate with.

INTJ: Natural

Instead of artificial things, you prefer natural aspects. Ensuring you have a real tree is only the beginning; grab some pine cones to dust off for a lovely centerpiece, or stack some firewood tied with a ribbon to add some rustic charm. You enjoy the understated feel of using things right outside your door rather than going to the bustling supermarkets to grab plastic knick-knacks.
