We’re just going to call it – we’re officially moving into Christmas movie season.
Apart from getting the parties started we’re all about sitting in, covering ourselves in a comfy blanket and sticking on some Christmas movies.
While for some it may be a little early, we have no problem getting into the swing of things right away – and it seems that doing so might actually be good for us.
If you love watching the likes of Elf, Love Actually or Home Alone then don’t feel guilty about it because research has proven that it makes us happier.
A psychologist told website DoYouRemember that it releases all those lovely feel good hormones!
“It does create that neurological shift that can produce happiness. I think anything that takes us out of our normal habituation, the normal day in, day out … signals our senses, and then our senses measure if it’s pleasing or not.”
They added: “Christmas decorating will spike dopamine, a feel-good hormone.”
Well, that’s that then. Anyone else heading home to see the selection of Christmas movies available on Netflix?!
