Merry Christmas & Great News – Giving is Good for You!

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! I get to celebrate with my in-laws in California. Nothing like a little sunshine and warmth to pep me up! Also, it turns out that giving is good for you, too. Well, I knew some of this but not all! My friends at Happify asked me to share this infographic with you! (Want to learn more about Happify? I have posted a bunch of their content and a summary of their site/offering is HERE.)

There are a lot of interesting findings about the benefits of giving. One great tip in here (especially for those who are still shopping…) is get several small value gift cards to a variety of retailers because, “frequent small pleasures tend to make us happier since we don’t adapt to them as quickly or become bored.” Interesting! And, your loved one can think of you more often, too!
