8 Personality Secrets Everyone Can Tell Just By Looking At Your Christmas Tree

It's officially the most wonderful time of the year, and we all know what that means!

For lots of folks, as soon as the Thanksgiving leftovers are demolished, it's time to turn to the next holiday — Christmas! — and get started on decking the halls and trimming the tree.

After all, picking out a Christmas tree and decorating it is a time-honored part of the Yuletide tradition. Folks have been decorating evergreen trees for thousands of years.

Given how much history there is behind the Tanenbaum, it's not too surprising that today's decorator usually puts a lot of personality into the ornaments on the tree.

In other words, you might be a tinsel person through and through, or you might have special affinity for old-timey cranberry garlands. No matter what you love to see on your tree, it helps reveal hidden facets of your personality.

Scroll through below to learn what your Christmas tree style says about your personality!

Style #1: Minimalist

Your tree is a near-perfect triangle decked with tasteful ornaments that all match.

You're a no muss, no fuss type with a taste for crisp, clean lines.

When it comes to furniture you like light wood in simple, efficient shapes and your dishware is all white.

You like simplicity in your personal life too; you're not one to seek drama or pick a fight, and you're happiest when everything is in its place

Style #2: Retro

If your Christmas tree is hot pink, bright white, or any other shade of pastel, you are definitely rocking a mid-century, retro vibe — bonus points for loading up on tinsel.

You're fashionable and quirky, with no interest in doing something just because everyone else is doing it.

Besides, you're so darn cute (and your tree is too!) that no one's going to say boo about your vintage-chic take on the classic tree.

So, tease your hair into a beehive and pull on your best June Cleaver dress — it's Christmas circa 1965.

Style #3: Old-Fashioned

You wouldn't put real candles on your tree (too treacherous), but your tree is thoroughly covered in the softly glowing, battery-operated kind.

Meanwhile your strings of cranberries and popcorn are one hundred percent authentic, and perfectly reflect your quaint personality and old-fashioned values.

You wouldn't necessarily want to go back in time to live in the 1800s, but you wouldn't mind visiting just for Christmas.

Style #4: Traditional

Your tree is decked in twinkly lights and little glass spheres, with plenty of turtledoves and icicles to spare. If Norman Rockwell painted a picture of a Christmas tree, it would look just like yours.

You value tradition, both inside and outside of the holidays season, and prefer to stick to the script.

Whether that means reverently hanging the stockings with care, or always wearing the same lucky socks for the World Series, you believe that some things are sacred.

Style #5: Crafty

Your tree is full of perky DIY spirit, just like you! Every ornament has been lovingly handmade, along with the tree skirt, the stockings, and the straw star on top.

You like to do things your own way, and you are fiercely independent in all things.

You're also meditative and introspective, with a deep love for taking the time to do everything right.

Style #6: Itty-Bitty

Your Christmas tree came pre-wrapped in a few lights and ornaments, and it's so tiny it fits on your hall table!

Chances are, you're a cosmopolitan apartment-dweller without much space for a tree in your tiny, but elegantly-decorated space.

Otherwise, you may be someone who always jet-sets on the holidays, off to visit family or go skiing, and you don't want a neglected evergreen dropping needles in your living room while you're gone.

Style #7: Scrapbook

Your tree is, first and foremost, a testament to the people you love!

There's a good chance you're a parent or a grandparent, and you value family and friends above all.

Instead of perfect ornaments, this tree covered in macaroni picture frames and gently-mangled paper doilies made by little ones in art class.

After all, it wouldn't be Christmas without loved ones!

Style #8: Charlie Brown Tree

You went to the Christmas tree farm with your sights set on a big, lush evergreen, but you came home with the dinkiest, most crooked tree in the lot.

What can you say? You're a sentimentalist and a softie at heart, and you just can't say "no" to someone in need, not even a tree!

Your life is full of people, animals, and objects in which you saw potential when no one else did — and they love you for it!
