Putting up Christmas decorations early might do more than spread holiday cheer—it could actually improve your happiness and strengthen your social connections.
Studies suggest that holiday décor evokes nostalgia, bringing back treasured memories and feelings of closeness to loved ones. This sense of nostalgia can boost life satisfaction and foster a deeper sense of connection.
Moreover, a festively decorated home signals warmth and approachability, encouraging interaction with neighbors and friends and enriching social bonds. Starting the celebrations early lets you enjoy these emotional and social benefits for a longer period, making the holiday season even more special.
