The Christmas Argument Settler
Every house has the same four arguments every December, and they never resolve because nobody brings evidence. Pick yours and get a verdict, along with the numbers behind it and where they came from. Then send it to the person who is wrong.
Some of these are genuinely settled by national polling. Some are settled by arithmetic. A couple are only settled by tradition, and two are frankly just our opinion. Every verdict says which it is, because a decorating site quoting itself as data is how you end up with the kind of Christmas advice this site exists to avoid.
Where the numbers come from
Christmas Tree Statistics
Who puts up a tree, when it goes up, when it comes down, and how completely artificial has taken over.
The Cost of Christmas 2026
What the season actually costs per person, and how many people borrow to get through it.
Spending Comparison
Put your own number against the national average instead of arguing about it.
Rate My Christmas Lights
Settle the other argument: whose display on this street is actually the best.
