Listen, friends, there’s something magical about diving headfirst into the holiday spirit, and Erin Napier is doing just that. Over the weekend, she gave us a glimpse of her stunning Christmas decor at her Mississippi home, and let me tell you, it's a sight to behold. Whether you're already in full-on holiday mode or just thinking about it, Erin’s got you covered with some serious festive inspiration.
“The girls wanted to start early and I couldn’t stop them,” Erin, 39, shared on Instagram last Sunday, November 10. And honestly, who could blame them? The excitement of the holiday season is contagious, and there’s nothing like letting the little ones take the reins when it comes to decorating.
Now, picture this: Erin's daughters, Helen and Mae, are busy as elves, adding their own special touches to the Christmas garland that drapes gracefully down the staircase. They’ve placed red bows along the green garland, creating a charming and festive look that perfectly complements the cozy atmosphere of their home. It’s the kind of detail that makes you stop and smile, reminding us all of the simple joys of the season.

When someone in the comments asked Erin where she sourced the garland, she replied with her characteristic warmth: “It’s nice! from a place outside Waynesboro that also sells huge pottery/vessels?” You can almost hear the pride in her voice, knowing she found such a unique piece for her holiday decor.
And let’s not forget the artistic flair that Helen and Mae brought to the stairwell. In the background of the photo, you can see their colorful drawings and paintings framed in various sizes, adding a personal touch to the space. Against the backdrop of wooden furnishings, their artwork pops with life and creativity, making the entire area feel like a cozy gallery of family memories.
“The girls art in the stairwell!? Love that,” one commenter gushed, while another chimed in with, “I love that exquisite art gallery you have on your wall.” It’s clear that Erin and her family have created a space that not only celebrates the holidays but also honors the creativity and individuality of each family member.
Why Mississippi Feels Like Home
It’s no secret that Erin and Ben Napier, 41, have a deep love for their Mississippi roots. Between their primary home in Laurel and their country retreat, they’ve created spaces that reflect their personalities and values. These homes are more than just places to live—they’re sanctuaries that allow Erin and Ben to connect with nature and each other in meaningful ways.
Erin’s decision to purchase a vacation home was driven by her desire for her daughters to experience the same kind of childhood she had. “I grew up on a 40-acre chicken farm and would pick out a baby chick to be my pet every time a new load would come,” she shared with Southern Living. “My playtime consisted of climbing a lot of trees and digging for arrowheads in the woods. That’s not something our girls can do in town. I want their bathwater to be dirty at the end of the day, so it means they weren’t just playing on screens.”
The Charm of Their Country Retreat
When Erin first laid eyes on their country home, she was instantly smitten. “One reason we had to get this house was its very British look. It feels as though you’ve crossed the ocean and you’re not in Mississippi anymore. It’s like a vacation for us,” she explained. “All the cozy rooms with dark wood make it seem as if you’re sitting beside a fire—that is the dream for me. I love this style so, so much.”

Ben, too, has been getting into the holiday spirit. Just before Erin’s post, he shared a heartwarming moment when Helen, 6, drew a cute Christmas tree picture to hang in the home. “My brother is making these really tiny frames with scraps of ornate moldings!” he captioned an Instagram post in early November. “They’re all $20 and some will fit the small instax style photos. The moment Helen saw it on the kitchen counter, she started a little drawing for it. She knew the assignment.”
