You can experience the joy of Christmas every day.
If you are in a hurry for the spirit-lifting effects of Christmas day take a walk in the park. A study has suggested that a visit to the local park may do the job just as well. The study found that the bigger the park with many trees and vegetation and plenty of flowers the more of a significant mood-boosting effect.
And a visit to the park brings with it an elevated mood glow that lasts for up to four hours. Researchers found that the rise in happiness of a walk in the park was equivalent to that recorded on Christmas day, which they said was the happiest day of the year.
The findings suggest that parks should be given greater priority by councils.
