From the Buckeyes to the Blue Jackets, central Ohioans are known for their effusive expressions of enthusiasm.
This year, however, area residents are garnering attention not only for their devotion to a beloved sports team but also their eagerness in throwing themselves into decorating for the holidays.
Modsy, a San Francisco-based online interior-design service, recently surveyed 2,000 individuals about their decorating plans for the season. The results confirmed that the nation as a whole, and the Buckeye State in particular, are positively crazy about Christmas: 69% of all respondents and 67% of Ohioans said they intended to “go all out” on their decorations this year.
