Decorating early for Christmas can make you happier

If you enjoy decorating early for Christmas, there is some good news! Some people are very strict in waiting to decorate for Christmas until after Thanksgiving or until the start of December. Others will happily start decorating in November or even October! If you’re in the decorating early camp, it turns out it may make you a happier person.

Happy feelings from your childhood or anything that brings nostalgia can reduce stress and anxiety. According to Southern Living, psychoanalyst Steve McKeown said, “In a world full of stress and anxiety, people like to associate with things that make them happy and Christmas decorations evoke those strong feelings of the childhood.”
