🎄 Which Christmas Character Are You? 🎄

You might find that you're a little bit of all of them... 😉

🎄 THE DECORATOR
November 12th? The tree is up. The garland is hung. The inflatables are inflated. If your home can’t be seen from space, you're not finished yet.

🛍️ THE SHOPPER
You've been making your list and checking it twice since July. The gifts are bought, wrapped, hidden, and organized in a spreadsheet.

🍪 THE SNACKER
Holiday calories don't count. That's just science. Whether you're baking, sampling, or simply showing up when the cookies are ready, this is your season.

😴 THE SNOOZER
Holiday PTO = hibernation. You'll emerge sometime after New Year's, well-rested and wrapped in three blankets (and some how still have a tan?)

🎶 THE CAROLER
You know every verse, every harmony, and exactly when it's socially acceptable to start listening to holiday music (hint: it was months ago).

🎅 THE SANTA
Nothing beats finding the perfect gift. You live for the moment someone opens a present and says, "How did you know?!"

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 THE TOGETHER FAMILY
Matching sweaters? Check. Family photos? Check. Twelve holiday activities scheduled for one weekend? Absolutely. The more the merrier.

✨ THE WILD CARD
You somehow end up hosting, decorating, baking, shopping, wrapping, and organizing everyone else's plans. Are you the main character of Christmas?

👇 So, which one are you?

Or did we miss your holiday alter ego? Tell us your Christmas character below!

🏖️ It's sunshine and beach days right now (remember your sun screen)…

🎄 But in just 100 days, we'll be talking gifts, décor, holiday treats, and festive finds.

The Lexington Christmas + Gift Show doors open on November 13-15.

Who's counting down with us?

We asked our MPE Holiday Teams what the best gift they ever received was. We got some pretty fun answers.

Jenn S said: In 1983, I got a Cabbage Patch Doll. It was the hottest toy in town! We also got a hamster that year which is what is in my other hand – clearly, I did not want to let either present go…

Jenna said: I loved Barbies as a kid! I couldn't get enough of them, and I was so excited to give them the big house and car. In 1990, I got a Barbie dreamhouse and a corvette.

Hillary said: This was my first big kid bike that was all my own, not a hand me down from my brother. Having a trail bike meant that I could go on long rides with the adults and big kids without riding on the back of someone else's bike. I was 8 years old and it was loud and made me feel cool. And yes, I usually wear a helmet.

Gina said: My very favorite Christmas present I received was in 1977, when I was in 4th grade. I was in love with Shaun Cassidy. I received a pair of denim bell bottom jeans with Shaun Cassidy's face on them. I was so excited! I still remember that feeling!
