In a recent interview, Gaines discussed how her family’s Christmas traditions are adapting as her children grow older and head off to college. She and her husband, Chip Gaines, have five children: Drake, 19; Ella, 18; Duke, 16; Emmie, 14; and Crew, 6.

Christmas days are now more relaxed, often spent in pajamas, enjoying puzzles and board games. Spontaneous activities like driving around to admire Christmas lights with hot cocoa and festive music have become cherished moments.
