Ep. 308 — Inspiring Your Family's Holiday Decor: Beyond Tinsel & Lights this Christmas


Listen Later

The Christmas season has a way of filling our homes with warmth and wonder—but what if your holiday décor could do more than make your home look festive? What if it could become a beautiful, daily reminder of the Gospel for your family—and especially for your girl? In this special Christmas message, American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay invites listeners to rediscover the meaning behind the decorations we often unpack without a second thought. Instead of centering December around tinsel, lights, and checklists, this conversation encourages you to fill your home with symbols that point your daughter to the Savior who came near.

Through thoughtful reflection and practical ideas, this episode explores how your family can create a holiday environment that disciples your girl right where she lives. Whether it's a nativity set placed intentionally, Scripture woven into ornaments, or simple traditions that direct your girl's heart toward Jesus, you'll find fresh inspiration to transform your décor into a teaching tool—one that speaks quietly but consistently of hope, promise, and God's redeeming love.

As the busyness of December pulls our attention in a thousand directions, this episode gently reminds parents to anchor their home in truth that outlasts the season. When your daughter looks around the room, what does she see? May she see more than glitter and garland—may she see a family committed to celebrating Christ Himself. With encouragement that blends creativity, Scripture, and practicality, you'll walk away with ideas your family can use immediately and a deeper sense of purpose for the atmosphere you cultivate.

Scripture References:

  • Luke 2:10–11: The joyful announcement of Christ's birth.

  • Deuteronomy 6:6–7: Impressing God's truths on the hearts of our children.

  • Isaiah 9:6: The prophecy pointing to the coming Messiah.

Three Things to Remember:

  • Your décor can be more than beautiful—it can be a discipleship tool.

  • Small, meaningful symbols can gently shape your daughter's understanding of Jesus.

  • A Christ-centered home environment helps your girl see the season through the lens of truth, not culture.
