If you’re someone who has happy childhood memories of the holidays, then you’re more likely to want to re-create that feeling sooner rather than later, which you might do by hanging up Christmas lights, for example. There’s a flip side, though. If holidays dredge up bad memories from childhood, then you might be the person who hates when decorations pop up in the grocery store before October.
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.
So if your current plans include shopping for a Christmas tree, we won’t judge you. In fact, there’s a good chance we’ll be right behind you!
