We've all heard that it's better to give than to receive, and according to research, that's totally true. A new study found that people are happier when

they give gifts, rather than we they get them.  When people gave to charity, tipped, or spent money on another person, they stayed happier longer than those who spent money on themselves.

Stay happier longer this holiday season, give!  I think most of us could use all the happiness we can get! You can read more on the study here.
