  • Studies show that the anticipation of a holiday can boost happiness even more than the event itself. Planning ahead is not just practical — it is scientifically proven to improve well-being.
  • Many holidays around the world are tied to astronomical events like solstices and equinoxes, connecting modern celebrations to ancient observations of the night sky.
  • The concept of public holidays as paid days off is relatively modern. Most countries only formalized national holidays in the 19th and 20th centuries.
