Oh Holy Night, the stars are brightly shining. It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth. These are my favorite lines from my favorite Christmas carol, Oh Holy Night. I used those sweet words as a theme for my Christmas decorating this year. The special symbols of Christmas are all around us. So much so, that they often go unnoticed, instead of cherished and remembered.
As I decorated our home this year, I wanted to emphasis those symbols throughout our home and help our family remember why we have trees in our home with a star on the top, gifts, twinkling lights, candy canes and nativities. There is a sacred celebration that we are remembering, it’s the reason reflected in the careful trimming of our homes. I want my children to know the why behind the magic of this season. They were given the most glorious gift by the most loving Father.
Look for these glorious symbols throughout our home this Christmas. Use them in your homes to decorate your house for Christmas and remember how much our Savior loves you. He came that holy night and the world never shined brighter.
Today, I am sharing the heart of our home, our Christmas family room. This is where we spend most of our time together as a family. I’ll be sharing the other spaces in our home decorated for Christmas throughout the next week. I hope these posts bring you inspiration, enjoy the Christmas Home Tour!

Oh Holy Night Christmas Home Tour
I picture that Holy Night and think of the golden hay that lay in the manger, the white shining stars that lit up the night sky and the silver coat on the donkey that led Mary into Bethlehem. Symbols of the first Christmas night. So, to remember that holy night, I used gold, white and silver to decorate our house this year. 
To decorate our tree, I used the same technique I shared in my Christmas Tree video tutorial. It’s an 8 minute tutorial showing you exactly how I decorate my tree. Use my Christmas tree capsule formula to know exactly how many ornaments, picks, flowers and ribbon you need for your tree. Here is a list of what I used to style our gold, white and silver tree…
- 9 ft. Christmas Tree (These are the best trees EVER!!!!! I have had several and this one is by far the best!)
- Fur Ribbon (I used 6)
- Picks
- Flowers
- Large Ornaments
- Medium Ornaments
- Small Ornaments
- Ribbon (mine is from a wholesale shop – I sourced similar options for you)
- Star Topper (my exact tree topper)
- Fur Tree Skirt
Use white gift boxes tied with pretty ribbons and baubles instead of wrapping paper. Store them and use then year after year.
Our mantel features a simple flocked garland fancied up with the same magnolias, gold leaves, and ornaments that coordinate with our tree. To recreate the look you need the following…
- 1 Flocked Garland
- 14 Magnolia Stems
- 12 Gold Leaf Picks
- 8 Small Gold Ornaments
- 6 Small White Ornaments
Gold Piped White Velvet Pillows (22″) | Gold Velvet Pillows (22″) | Gray Lattice Pillows (22″) | Gold and Cream Satin Pillows (Lumbar) | H Throw (similar) | Mirrored End Table | Timeless Style Book | Glamorous Rooms Book | Homefront Book | Bottle Brush Trees and here | Selenite Votives | White and Gold Lamp | Cream Club Chairs

Randi, This may be my favorite yet! (That is saying something) I just wanted to thank you, some how your words of faith have truly touched me. You are never preachy but so sweet and sincere. I have been going through some really dark times and you have given me such joy in sharing your faith. I don’t ever share that with anyone but my best friend that seems to have the same light within. I am so glad I found you, you truly brighten my day!
Oh thank you Dana! I am sorry you are going through a tough time. I know that after the tough times, bright days come. They always do. Sending lots of love and hugs! xoxo

I didn’t think it was possible to top last years Christmas design, but I was wrong. This is absolutely beyond amazing.; perfectly elegant.
May you and yours have a wonderful Christmas.

There are no words to describe how GORGEOUS your Christmas decorating is this year. You inspire so many and I love your creativity. Everything is beautiful. Sit back and enjoy it! Have a Merry Christmas!
Randi, everything is absolutely stunning!
Having traveled to Israel several times to retrace the footsteps of Jesus , my husband and I were able to go to Bethlehem to visit the shepherds field.
Standing in the field and looking at the stars was something I will never forget. The sky was so clear, the stars shone so brightly, and the stillness was deafening.
As our small group stood in the dark field, we sang, “Oh Holy Night.” I was able to sing for a few minutes, but was quickly overwhelmed and humbled reflecting on the birth of my Lord and Savior. The One Who was born to die for me.
Placing the emphasis on the greatest gift of all, salvation is something very important to our family as well.
Your beautiful home reflects your sincere heart.
Oh I love this so much! Thank you for sharing your special memory with me! xoxo
Randi everything is gorgeous as usual! I have your same “holy family” set, If anyone is looking for this exact one they are readily available and very inexpensive on eBay! Just search for:
GRANDEUR NOEL Holy Family. I just double checked and it looks like there are 12 or 14 available on there right now!
