On Wednesday, Dec. 25, the HGTV star, 46, shared an Instagram reel of her festive decorations inside and outside her Texas farmhouse.
” ‘Twas the night before Christmas,” she wrote in the caption.

The video is set to the sound of Louis Armstrong reading the iconic poem mentioned in the caption — written by Clement Clarke Moore. The reading is featured on the Louis Wishes You A Cool Yule album.
Gaines begins her video with a pan of the outside of her house, the roof of which is neatly decorated with white string lights. The clip also shows Christmas trees and a wreath lining the path to the door.

She followed the outdoor clip with videos of the holiday decor inside her house, which included an abundance of wintery cabins, greenery along the banister of her staircase, and a checkerboard with two deer.
Gaines hung stockings on her brick fireplace, decorated with a bundle of greenery and a garland of dried orange slices in Gaines’ videos.

Gaines recently spoke with PEOPLE in an exclusive interview about her new design class for MasterClass, in which she said her family’s holiday traditions are changing now that her kids are going off to college.
She and her husband Chip Gaines, 50, have five children: sons Drake, 19, Duke, 16, and Crew, 6, and daughters Ella, 18, and Emmie, 14.

“As they’re getting older, Christmas day looks slower than it used to,” Gaines told PEOPLE. “We stay in our pajamas all day long, and someone usually pulls out a puzzle or board game that we all gather around.”
The Fixer Upper co-host added that the Christmas holiday tends to be more “spontaneous” these days. “We make hot cocoa and drive around town to look at lights with Christmas music playing in the background,” she said.
However, Gaines said her family’s holiday still revolves “around food.”
“The kids know that Christmas morning means mama’s cinnamon rolls and hash brown casserole,” she shared.
