Despite the fact that many of us believe the holiday season will inevitably result in a family row if we spend too much time together, it’s actually been scientifically proven that eating together as a family makes us happier. According to this infographic from Happify, studies show that 90% of people believe that eating together as a family is more important than the preparation of the meal or where the meal came from. There is also evidence to support the idea that traditions keep the family unit strong and calm. So turn off the TV and enjoy each others’ company this season!
