Massachusetts Does THIS More Than Every Other State (But One) Around Christmas

If you said "put up a real Christmas tree," "watch Home Alone," or "flip off a fellow driver," good guesses but no. Massachusetts residents spend the second most amount of money Christmas shopping online out of all 50 states! And I personally helped us get that high on the list. Also shout out to my hard working delivery drivers. Sorry we rely so dang heavily on you. I wish I didn't have so many stairs in front of my house.

Financial publisher The Lazy Trader conducted the study, which gathered data from search terms on Google over the last four years to determine the states that are most likely to shop online for gifts in December. It should be noted that data was broken down to "per 100,000 residents" to give all states an even playing field, no matter how geographically large or small the state is.

New Jersey was the big winner. Residents of The Garden State do their Christmas shopping in front of a computer screen more than people in any other state. Massachusetts takes the runner-up position. We use online shopping as our holiday shopping more than residents in 48 states.

I personally love shopping online. Less travel and traffic, less lines, less circling a parking lot while swearing to Christmas carols to try to get in the holiday mood. But I do miss seeing all the holiday store decorations... and.... well I think that's pretty much all I miss while doing the bulk of my holiday shopping online. I do make a point to buy presents from lots of local mom and pop shops though - that's pretty important to me.

Are you an online shopper and if so, do YOU miss anything from hitting the stores? Let me know you're thoughts @jacksonblueshow if you feel like sharing, I'd love to hear from you. And Happy Holidays!

Let's stay on the holidays and look at the most re-watched holiday movies year-after-year. Is your favorite on the list?:

There is nothing like a holiday movie to put you in a good mood, and lift your spirits. We all have our favorites that we watch year after year. Ever wonder how your favorite compares to everyone else's? The list is out of the most-rewatched holiday classics.

This list is based on a poll by Yahoo and YouGov, and they came up with the top 10. In talking about the poll, Pamela Rutledge, the director of the independent Media Psychology Research Center, talks about why some holiday films are so loved. She says that first and foremost, they make us feel something. She told Yahoo Entertainment that they let us tap into our emotions. So whether you're laughing, crying, or even just going "awwww," it allows you to experience emotions that are associated with the power of connection, compassion and empathy.

Rutledge also says that holiday movies trigger nostalgia for "the good old days," by tapping into tradition. Why? she says that, "The human brain is funny. It tends to remember happy events with a bit of fairy dust, amplifying the glow and heightening our enjoyment of positive memories. [The holiday favorites] become annual rituals, signifying the holiday season as much as Christmas carols playing at the mall."

It's pretty simple. We watched it, we loved it, it made us feel good, and we want to do it again. I don't know about you but I am a huge fan of re-watching shows and movies. Some of these movies and shows become comforting to us, and can be self-care. Why wouldn't we want to feel better? Lately it feels like life is very heavy and we could all use a break. The holidays couldn't come at a better time.

Here are the top 10 most-rewatched holiday classics.

There's always a fight over whether or not this is a holiday movie or not. I would say no, but what do you think?

This classic came out in 1947 and is about an old man going by the name of Kris Kringle who fills in for an intoxicated Santa in Macy's annual Thanksgiving Day parade. 

I should be ashamed that I've never seen this, but it must be good because it has a 2 and a 3.

This 1946 movie is about an angel sent from Heaven to help a desperately frustrated businessman by showing him what life would have been like if he had never existed.

One of Melissa's holiday favorite. She says that Clark W. Griswold will have you checking each and every bulb on your Christmas lights until the end of time.

This one is up higher for me personally, and every year has me screaming, "Santa, I know him!"

Oh Rudolph. How can we not love the movie that introduced us to the Island of Misfit Toys and Yukon Cornelius.

This dance scene in A Charlie Brown Christmas is enough to make you watch year after year. Love it!

Guess there's a reason that networks have marathons and run this movie around the clock. You can just jump in and out whenever you want.

The movie that launched Macaulay Culkin into stardom. He stars as Kevin who gets left at home by his family going on a Christmas vacation, and has to protect the family home from burglars.
