Dearest friends, if you don't mind, we'd like to join you (not quite "by your side" because this is the internet) and share how our favorite characters from The Nightmare Before Christmas correlate with our innermost souls. Yes, knowing thyself is as easy as realizing that your preferences are usually reflections of who you are. Thanks, Psych 101. Anyways, as the weather grows colder it seems like a good time for introspection. (Translation: It's October!!!!!!) So take a moment to ponder your favorite The Nightmare Before Christmas character, and then read on:
Jack Skellington
You're a born leader who inspires those around you into action. You love going out and seeking adventure, but you love coming home again equally as much. You have big ideas, and the determination to see them through. Maybe you've been feeling a bit off lately. Don't fret! Just remember who you are and the special things you bring to the table.
Sally
You're sensitive, strong, and clever with a huge heart. You'd do anything for those you care about, even when they might not realize what's best for them. You never give up, not other people, and certainly not on yourself. You know what your goals are, and you pursue them tirelessly. You might also have moments when you think you've had a vision of the future. Trust your instincts.
Oogie Boogie
You're powerful and have a larger-than-life presence. You like taking chances but aren't above swaying the possible results in your favor-hey, whatever works! You like to command a room, but when people really get to know you they learn that maybe you're not as tough as you want them to think. (That's not a bad thing, embrace it!)
Dr. Finklestein
You're truly one a kind. You're always up for trying new things and think life is about trial and error. You can't bake a cake without breaking a few eggs, after all. When things don't go to plan, you make a new plan. Resilient, smart, and not easily deterred, the world is your oyster!
Zero
You're fun-loving, loyal, and adorable. You'd follow those you love to the ends of the Earth, and do whatever you could to make sure they're happy and healthy. You understand that life's too short for complications and try to start everyday with a smile.
Mayor
You're a team player who's unafraid to step out of the spotlight for the greater good. You let your emotions guide you and wear your heart on your sleeve. A creature of habit, you like knowing where you friends and family are, and are definitely one who plans ahead.
Lock, Shock, and Barrel
Mischief is your middle name. You love playing practical jokes on friends, family, even strangers. To you, like is about having fun and very little else. Well, candy. Life is about having fun and eating candy. Your youthful spirit endears you to everyone you meet. You're crafty and creative.
Witches
When you find a cause, or something you really love, you stick with it. You're loyal 'til the end and happy to be part of the team. You know that everyone has their expertise, so your focus on what you do best. You're known for the support you give others; everyone wants you as an ally.
