What Kind Of Christmas Person Are You?

"Booo!" is what everyone thinks of you. But they're wrong. The good thing about being a Scrooge as opposed to, say, a Grinch, is that you're not really anti-Christmas, it's just not the right vibe for you. You're a Valentine's Day gal, or an Easter boy. Christmas is too much routine, not enough fun. You can only drink like three different things, and they've all got milk in them and taste awful. It's just not your day. Don't let the naysayers get you down.

The years haven't been kind to you. While other people's excitement for Christmas has doubled - tripled, even - in size, yours has withered away in a paltry love of brussels sprouts and 'at least I can get drunk'. You're better than a Scrooge because you actually have a reason to not love Christmas - it's just not your thing anymore. It's not like you're ruining anyone's fun, and everyone still loves being around you because you're sassy and a little bit slimy, so just do you!

Unlike a Scrooge, or even a Grinch, although your love of Christmas has taken something of a knock as you've grown up, you still look forward to it. You're not showered with gifts anymore, and there's no magic attached to it, but god do you love roast potatoes. And parsnips. And a nice brandy in the evening and oh wow were these Sprouts cooked in bacon? Sensational. Your best present this year is a tighter waistband and a slightly greasy face. You deserve it. Treat yourself.

You don't have to be a parent to ride this vibe all through December. Decorations are up the moment November 30th ends, you've gone and bought a tree that's approximately seven million times bigger than your flat, and everything's been cinnamon-spiced for weeks now. You are a Christmas angel, and you're going to make sure everyone has as much fun as you do - no Grinches allowed.

"It's CHRIIIISTMAAAAS" you scream in your best Slade voice as often as possible for the entire month of December. You're up at 4am on Christmas day to open presents, and if anyone thinks you're going back to bed they are sorely mistaken - you'll stay up through the day on a mysterious diet of festive energy, stocking chocolates and an amount of Baileys no human could or should be able to consume. You've been planning this for months. It's your special day. You deserve this. "It's CHRIIIIISTMAAAAAAAAAS"
