TRUST THE SCIENCE - DECORATING EARLY FOR CHRISTMAS MAKES YOU HAPPIER!

People are getting excited for Christmas earlier and earlier. And we shouldn't hold back anyone's excitement for the holiday time because it's a moment to celebrate friends and family, and spend quality time together. 

If you're itching to break out the Christmas lights before Thanksgiving Day,(Monday October 4) go ahead — psychologists say it might make you happier. It’s been reported that people who decorate earlier are simply tapping into the excitement of the holidays before the rest of us — which makes them happier.

But what is it exactly about Christmas decorations that trigger those happy hormones? For starters, it’s the bright lights and colours. Chromo therapy, or colour therapy, which is thought to increase energy levels and boost happiness, might be at play. Or maybe it’s just the ambiance in general — who can resist smiling at the sight of a Christmas tree being lit for the first time? 

There could be a number of symptomatic reasons why someone would want to obsessively put up decorations early, most commonly for nostalgic reasons, either to relive the magic or to compensate for past neglect. In a world full of stress and anxiety, people like to associate to things that make them happy, and Christmas decorations evoke those strong feelings of the childhood.

For a lot of us, Christmas is a magical time, it’s a time of innocence, and it’s a time of joy, there’s another possible benefit to decorating early, though: The neighbors might think you're friendlier! Research has shown that people interpret Christmas decorations on a home as a cue that the people inside are sociable.

Have your September plans include shopping at Navita Designs, and deck the halls, friend!  Putting up your decorations early can be a real mood-lifter.
