  • Why Do Some Christmas Trees Feel More Magical Than Others?

    Why Do Some Christmas Trees Feel More Magical Than Others?
    Dec 25 2024
    In this edition of the Un:Curve podcast, Anthony Clemons explored why we’re drawn to the things we are. From the dazzling allure of Christmas trees to the surprising science of the 'center-stage effect,' there are fascinating ways our brains and traditions intersect. He discussed the psychological phenomenon behind our preference for the middle, delved into how placement, nostalgia, and shared rituals make holiday traditions so enduring, and examined how platforms like Instagram are transforming the way we engage with symbols of celebration. Anthony also reflected on the role of memory and belonging in grounding us through familiar rituals and connected these ideas to research by Ute Kreplin, Volker Thoma, and Paul Rodway, as well as studies on the psychological impact of nostalgia. Ultimately, he posed a thought-provoking question: can the essence of traditions like the Christmas tree survive in a digital world, or do they lose something essential when shared online?
