Hey!, it’s time to shake off the old thinking that Christmas decorations are reserved for December. Believe it or not, science says putting up your decorations early can actually boost your happiness. It's not about rushing the holidays—it's about creating a festive, warm environment that makes you feel good. And let's be honest, who doesn’t want to feel a bit of that holiday cheer early?
Early Christmas
Decorations: Science-backed Benefits
Research shows that
people who decorate early tend to feel happier. Why? It’s simple: Christmas
decorations trigger nostalgia, bringing back warm memories from childhood,
family traditions, and all the good times you associate with the holiday
season. Plus, when your home looks festive, it just feels more inviting, adding
to that cozy, feel-good vibe.
But it’s not just
about feelings. Psychologists say that early Christmas decorations can reduce
stress and anxiety. The combination of twinkling lights, bright colors, and
familiar ornaments can actually promote dopamine production—the “feel-good”
hormone. So, if you’ve had a long day at work, walking into a house already
dressed up for Christmas could be just the mood-lifter you need.
Setting Up
Early: Less Stress, More Time
Now, decorating
early isn’t just good for your mental health—it’s also smart planning. Instead
of scrambling around in December when you’re trying to juggle work, gift shopping,
and holiday parties, why not get a head start? By spreading out the work over a
few weekends in November (or even October, if you’re really eager), you give
yourself time to get things right without the pressure. You can even make it a
family event, getting the kids involved and taking it one room or section at a
time.
And let's not
forget the man of the house always has plenty of other tasks on his
list—especially yard work. If you're planning to go big on outdoor lights, it’s
a perfect time to tidy up the garden or hang that wreath on a freshly painted
front door. And Rayneau and Navita Designs can help you there with all the
garden supplies and decor you’ll need to get your yard holiday-ready. From lawn
tools to decorative lights, we’ve got you covered.
Decorating Early:
What to Focus On
If you're new to
the "early Christmas" trend, start with a few basics from Navita
Designs:
- Exterior Lights: Stringing up the lights in the garden
or around the house is a no-fuss way to get in the spirit without
cluttering the indoors too early.
- Christmas Tree: Sure, you can wait on the real tree,
but an artificial tree can go up any time! Get the kids to help with the
ornaments—it’s never too early to start collecting memories.
- Wreaths and Garlands: These are subtle, easy touches that bring the Christmas spirit without taking over your home just yet.
