This is my favorite home tour all. year. long. Twinkles, candles, peace and quiet… Christmas lights at night is like a balm to my harried, busy, to-do-list-harrassed soul.

I hope it can be for you, too.

I’m so honored and pleased to be joined by more than 25 other bloggers this year for the annual Christmas Nights Tour. If you’re visiting for the first time from The Turquoise Home or any of the other participating blogs, I’m so so glad you’re here. I’m a mom of four, a recovering perfectionist, a self-proclaimed nerd, and a lover of pursuing peace at home – whatever chaos that may look like. 😉

Come, and celebrate the joy of Christmas with us.

I can’t resist ending with these words (which my three-year-old may or may not have been singing slightly wrong about 37 times per day… but it’s the thought that counts, right?):

O come, let us adore Him.
O come, let us adore Him.
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ, the Lord.

Thank you for coming into our home this Christmas. I pray yours is filled with love, joy, and peace this holiday season.

  7. I wish a very merry and magical Christmas to you and your family, Rachel. Thank you for your style and grace over this past year and best wishes for a wondrous new year. Cheers, Ardith

  8. Rachel, I love seeing your home all decorated for the holidays, your home looks so welcoming, the baby has grown so much , and a big sister is so helpful, here is to a more peace filled new year, and you always show the beauty around us inside and out ,Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family, Ruth

  9. Hello, I am Daniela, you have an amazing house and it is even more amazing with all the christmas decorations! May I ask you what camera settings did you use to take these photos? I’d like to try and take photos (almost) like yours. Again, you did a really good job!

    1. Thank you so much! For nighttime Christmas lights, it’s all taken with a tripod with REALLY long shutter speeds. I set low aperture for the blurry light shots and high aperture for the twinkly shots. I keep ISO as low as I can (which ranges from 400-super high). I actually have a full segment on taking these kind of shots in my photography course. I hope this helps and happy holidays!!

  10. I enjoyed all your beautiful pictures, especially the ones with the children. Thank you for your inspiring ideas.
    Linda Logan

  11. I keep finding myself coming back to this beautiful page! Where did you get your rug in your livingroom? It’s beautiful and warm looking. Is is more browns and beiges? Love it!
