You like to be involved in every project. You feel like you put the polishing touch on things. You would make a good editor, detective, or accountant. When facts matter, you're the person to call on.

You Would Be a Fun Santa

In your opinion, Christmas is all about the kids. You love the magic and joy it brings to them. You love to spoil children with gifts, even if they aren't your own kids. You remember how exciting Christmas morning was when you were a kid. You think that a spirit of generosity and innocence are nice. It's all about how much you give. You think that needy and pushy adults are naughty. You hate it when people ruin the holiday for the kids.
