Rather than buying yet another throw pillow or rearranging my bookshelves for the umpteenth time, though, I\u2019m trying something different this winter to reap the benefits of a mood-boosting space: I&#8217;m decorating early for the holidays.<\/div>\n<p>Typically, I don\u2019t do much in terms of decorating for Christmas in my apartment in Washington, D.C., because I leave town to be with family in California. But this year, I&#8217;ve embraced decorating (and doing so early) for other holidays\u2014as a way to freshen up my space and give myself a soothing focal point while I work from home\u2014and I&#8217;m planning to do the same for Christmas&#8230; starting right after Thanksgiving. This fall, for instance, when my sense of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/halloween-nostalgia-millennials\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/halloween-nostalgia-millennials\/\">Halloween nostalgia<\/a> hit especially hard, I adorned my tables and shelves with ceramic pumpkins, and my walls with garlands of felt bats and ghosts. (I also packed my weekends with seasonal activities, including trips to a nearby pumpkin patch and a party to carve jack-o\u2019-lanterns.) I found that the more I engaged with the season, the happier I felt.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Decorating around the holidays can give us a little spike of feel-good hormones that can scientifically boost our mood.&#8221;\u2014Neha Chaudhary, MD, psychiatrist<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It turns out that decorating for the holidays can be a happiness-promoting activity in and of itself, \u201cgiving us a little spike of feel-good hormones that can scientifically boost our mood,\u201d says double board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nehachaudharymd.com\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.nehachaudharymd.com\/about\">Neha Chaudhary, MD<\/a>, chief medical officer at workplace mental health care platform <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhealth.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/modernhealth.com\/\">Modern Health<\/a>. (The warm, fuzzy feeling I get as I hang ornaments and parse out the spacing between my figurines is no coincidence, after all.) That&#8217;s especially powerful this time of year given its association with seasonal affective disorder (SAD) or the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/mid-winter-blues\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/mid-winter-blues\/\">winter blues<\/a>,&#8221; which describe the negative impact of the often chilly, dark days of winter on mood for many.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the reason why decorating for the holidays can spark such joy has to do with its connection to ritual and <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/ejsp.2519\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" class=\"no-underline citation\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/ejsp.2519\"><span>nostalgia, which can render life more meaningful<\/span><sup>1<\/sup><\/a>. &#8220;For some people, decorating can remind them fondly of previous memories associated with the holiday season,&#8221; says Dr. Chaudhary. For instance, in my case, decorating calls to mind the other joyous rituals I associate with Christmas, like cozying up to watch holiday movies and baking cookies while listening to carols. (For the same reason, it&#8217;s worth noting that for those who may connect not-so-happy memories to the holiday season, decorating could actually prompt a negative mood or stir up sad or angry feelings.)<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/benefits-decorating-early-for-holidays\/\" current-title=\"I\u2019m Decorating Early for the Holidays To Boost My Mood\u2014And a Psychiatrist Backs Me Up\" current-image=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/WG_Editorial_Decorate-early_late-425x285_418x278_true_70.webp\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2023-05-19\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/benefits-decorating-early-for-holidays\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/benefits-decorating-early-for-holidays\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/benefits-decorating-early-for-holidays\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>According to Dr. Chaudhary, the positive rituals we perform can also imbue us with a sense of comfort, stability, and belonging. For me, trimming my family\u2019s tree with ornaments I\u2019ve collected year-round on various adventures has always sweetened the meaning of an activity that wouldn\u2019t mean much at all if not for the memories and routine attached to it. It&#8217;s no wonder doing the same kind of decorating for the holidays in my apartment may conjure the same warm feelings\u2014and doing it early in the season can just extend those feel-good benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Not to mention the inherent mood-boosting potential of an activity that involves getting creative and working with your hands. &#8220;For some people, decorating can be a type of mindful activity that keeps them present and focused in a way that\u2019s good for mental health,&#8221; adds Dr. Chaudhary.<\/p>\n<p>Given that the decorations I&#8217;ve long arranged in the days before Christmas remain packed in the closets of my family&#8217;s California home, I\u2019ve made a recent project of gathering my own for my D.C. apartment. At the moment, I\u2019m working on thrifting a Christmas village, and I plan on hanging a garland of gold stars. For my mini Christmas tree, I&#8217;m also ready to add some new ornaments I picked out on a recent trip to the department store Liberty, in London. As the darkness of winter quickly approaches, I know that these glowing touches will be a welcome light.<\/p>\n<div class=\"block-thin post-citations mt-[40px] mb-[30px]\" data-module-init=\"main-2020\/post-citations\" data-module-immediate=\"true\">\n<hr class=\"!border-seafoam-dark mb-[24px]\"\/>\n<div class=\"post-citations-content flex flex-col gap-[24px]\">\n<p>Well+Good articles reference scientific, reliable, recent, robust studies to back up the information we share.
