Does Putting Up Christmas Decorations Early Make You Happier?
     Fall is here, Halloween is in a couple weeks, and according to researchers, if you want to be happier you should be thinking about putting up your Christmas decorations now.   Experts are saying that people who “Christmas creep” and start putting up decorations early typically have a life that’s more fulfilled.  “Our people, our men will start in the next two weeks,” says Barbara Oldrati of Philadelphia. “They’ll start putting the lights up. Doing the trees. Wrapping the trees and things like that.”  According to her, there’s not a frown in sight once the lights go up for the holiday season.  When do you begin to think about putting up Christmas decorations?  How early is too early to put up Christmas decorations?
