How You Can Embrace Grace This Christmas
By Movieguide® Contributor
As Christmas creeps upon us, FIXER TO FABULOUS star Jenny Marrs shares how to find grace in a season that can be very hustle and bustle.
“As we walk closer toward Christmas Day, and my to-do list feels exceedingly long and unchecked, there’s a door open where that old friend guilt can easily be ushered in. I found that reading my own words from ‘House + Love = Home’ this morning helped to reset my heart,” Marrs began.
“No matter how vigilant I am about keeping white space on our calendar in this season, it’s inevitable that we go, go, go in the weeks leading up to Christmas. And? This morning, I’m realizing it’s all grace.”
Though it’s a fast-paced season, Marrs takes space for grace as she tries to cherish Christmas memories.
“After all the gifts are unwrapped and everyone is contentedly playing with their new toys, Dave and I find our way back to the spot where we started: sipping coffee in front of the fire,” she continued.

“Hours after we sat here at daybreak, I look around again and soak in the scene: The living room floor is now covered in discarded wrapping paper and ripped-open boxes are strewn about,” the TV host said. “The fire burns low and laughter and excited chatter fill the air. Eventually, we’ll all pitch in to collect the trash, and toys and clothes will be put away. But, for now, l ignore the mess, turn up the festive music, and whisper a silent prayer of gratitude.”
“Grace, friends. Soak in it this morning. Let yourself get done what you can and let go of the rest. It will all be okay. Our kids will only remember the joy. ??” she finished.
The Marrs recently showed off their Bentonville home and farm on HGTV. This year’s decorations include brass ornaments, two elves on the shelf, real garlands, a nutcracker, and of course, a tree with a star on top.
The Marrs are opening a new store in Bentonville next called Marrs on Main. It will open in spring 2025.
“Our hope for Marrs on Main is that it’s a place where the things we sell each tell a story and encourage visitors to seek beauty in all things and in all people,” the Marrs said.
They opened their first store, Marrs Mercantile, just last year.
