This holiday season, I’ve made the choice to set up my Christmas decorations earlier than usual. Often, when individuals opt for this and share it on social media, they face criticism or judgment from others. Nevertheless, it’s important to remember that you can’t please everyone, so it’s best to prioritize your own happiness.
The reason behind my early decorating decision this year is that both my partner’s and my birthdays fall close to Christmas. This often results in us not being at home during the festive period. By putting up the decorations at the beginning of December, we can extend the time to enjoy them to the fullest, considering their beauty.
In light of the current negative global news, I strongly believe that if something as simple as Christmas decorations brings you joy, why delay in putting them up? There’s no harm in it, and if it brings happiness, it’s worth it.
Furthermore, with many of us spending increased time at home, decorating for Christmas can serve as a cost-free way to uplift your spirits. Embracing the festive spirit by playing Christmas music, dancing around the living room, and indulging in some holiday treats can be a delightful experience.
While some may mock the early decorations, engaging in this festive activity can be enjoyable and heartwarming. Unpacking cherished decorations, including sentimental ornaments collected over the years, can create a sense of nostalgia and family connection.
Joining in the Christmas spirit by displaying decorations, such as a fresh wreath, can also bring a sense of community and joy. So, if you’re feeling a bit like Scrooge, don’t hesitate to immerse yourself in the festive season and let the magic of Christmas uplift your mood.
Let the music of Michael Bublé, Mariah Carey, and Kelly Clarkson fill your home, and embrace the joy of the holiday season. You’ll find that the spirit of Christmas can truly bring comfort and happiness, making the early decorating decision worthwhile.
