How Each Myers-Briggs Type Behaves During The Christmas Season
The Holidays are upon us and the festivities are everywhere! Some people were made for the holidays season, while others become unbelievably annoyed and frustrated. Here is how we think you will respond to the holidays based on your Myers-Briggs type.
INFJ
INFJs often enjoy certain aspects of the Holiday season, but may become bogged down if they don’t have people close to them. INFJs dislike things that are shallow, which may cause them to become upset by the fact that everyone around them is caught up on the meaningless parts of Christmas. INFJs love the chance to be around the people that they care about, often enjoying the generosity and caring that Christmas can bring. If the INFJ is surrounded by people with the sole purpose of gifting and money, the INFJ will despise that. They love being able to make the people around them happy, and will often work hard to put a lot of sentimental thought into the gifts that they give. When things are about more than just the price tag, the INFJ will actually love the chance to enjoy the Christmas season.
ENFJ
ENFJs often enjoy any opportunity to provide for their loved ones. They enjoy bringing the family together and will often use Christmas as a chance to do that. They will often be the ones baking the delicious Christmas cookies, and focus very hard on the perfect gifts to buy everyone. ENFJs may put a lot of added stress on themselves during the holidays, wanting to do whatever they can to make everyone around them happy. The excuse of Christmas time is an excellent reason for the ENFJ to do more for others, since this is something that they love. People cannot turn away their holiday cheer, allowing the ENFJ to smother everyone with love.
INFP
INFPs often love the little nostalgic aspects to Christmas time. They enjoy the things about Christmas that bring everyone together and represent giving and love. INFPs may become annoyed if they feel like Christmas is becoming too commercialized, but will be happy if they can focus on their loved ones. INFPs may enjoy the aesthetic parts of the holidays, like the Christmas lights and the decorations. The INFP may enjoy the quiet mornings before the holidays, when they can curl up with some coffee or cocoa, by a nice fire and enjoy the decorations. They will enjoy the more real and deep aspects of this time of year, loving the chance to show the people around them what they mean to them.

INTJs are often very aware of the true meaning to things, so they might become annoyed with the idea of the holiday season. INTJs will often see the over commercialized desire to buy, buy, buy, during Christmas, which will often annoy them. Although Christmas can have a rather positive outlook, like the idea of kindness and generosity, the INTJ may feel like that spirit should be carried out through the entire year, not just during the holiday. Some INTJs may enjoy the time to reflect on what is important though, taking time away from the hustle of the previous year to consider what truly matters to them.
