Well, we made it through Halloween, and you may have noticed that stores were putting out the Christmas decorations before the cobwebs were even cleared.  You may have also seen all the funny Christmas decorating memes both from those who think it’s too early and those that think November 1st is the perfect time to bust out the garland and twinkle lights.

And now there is a study that shows those Holly Jolly decorators may be on to something.

The Journal of Environmental Psychology put out a study that says decorating takes us back to our childhood those exciting childhood holiday memories. It’s not a surprise in our fast-paced, stress and often frustrating world, we look for the things that transport us to a happier time. And that is precisely what holiday decorating can do, evoke those magical feeling from childhood. Not only does it make you happier to decorate early for the holidays, but it can also make you seem more accessible to your neighbors. The study shows that other people view those who decorate are more approachable and friendlier. So, if you just moved to a new neighborhood, get to decorating! And if you are ready to get on the happiness train, here are some ideas to get you there.
