Christmas has a way of transforming the everyday. One moment, it’s just an ordinary living room, quiet and still. The next, with the soft glow of fairy lights, the glimmer of glass ornaments, and some familiar scent, it becomes a place alive with memory, music, and love. Suddenly, we are children again, wide-eyed before the tree, waiting for wonder to unfold

The holidays do this to us—they remind us that home can be both a sanctuary and a stage for the stories we carry in our hearts. And more than the gifts under the tree, it is the spirit of decorating—the act of dressing our spaces in joy—that makes Christmas linger long after the season has passed.

At Robinsons Department Store, this magic is understood. Each year, they help families rediscover the art of holiday decorating—not just as a tradition, but as a way of telling our personal story of Christmas. This season, Robinsons invites everyone to transform their homes with festive inspirations through five beautifully curated themes: Classic, Natural Elegance, Pretty Pastels, Bejeweled, and A Very Berry.

BEJEWELED CHRISTMAS

Draped in jewel tones and gleaming metallics, Christmas dazzles like a celebration in full bloom—where every corner shines brighter, every moment feels grand.

THE MEANING OF DECORATING

It's easy to ask: why spend time decorating at all? After all, the holidays will come whether or not the tree is trimmed. But anyone who has ever sat in the glow of twinkling lights, or opened the door to the scent of pine and cinnamon, feel the answer in their hearts. Décor has a way of stirring the soul. It turns a house into a comforting dreamscape. It creates a stage for joy.

For children, decorations are proof that magic exists and the home can feel carnival-like. For parents, they are an act of love, setting the scene for traditions that will be carried forward. For friends and families who gather, they are the backdrop to stories that will be retold long after the season ends.

CLASSIC CHRISTMAS

The timeless glow of red, green, and gold, wrap the season in a glow of love and possibility.

VERY BERRY CHRISTMAS

With berries, deep reds, and rustic charm, Christmas is a celebration—where tables overflow with love and every gathering glows with heart.
