ILLINOIS - It seems like there may be some Grinches around Illinois.

A new survey is ranking all 50 states for their Christmas cheer, and Illinois falls in the middle at 22th.

But, it is a slight improvement from last year when the state ranked 36th.

The rankings were based on a number of factors including the amount of Christmas music streamed and Google searches for Christmas terms.

The state with the most Christmas spirit was New Hampshire.
