Tia Mowry and Tamera Mowry-Housley Weigh in on a Controversial Christmas Decorating Debate (Exclusive)

Tia Mowry and Tamera Mowry-Housley Share Their Views on a Contentious Christmas Decorating Debate

Twin sisters Tia Mowry and Tamera Mowry-Housley recently delved into the longstanding debate around early holiday decorating. The siblings, known for their roles in ‘Sister, Sister,’ expressed their thoughts on the matter in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE.

In the lead-up to the festive season, individuals who start their Christmas decorating before Thanksgiving often face criticism. The question remains – when is it too early to begin embracing the holiday spirit and adorning homes with trees and ornaments?

At 47 years old, Tia and Tamera are staunch advocates of decorating their spaces with Christmas cheer. During their interview with PEOPLE, connected to their collaboration with HomeGoods, Tia mentioned her fondness for adding a touch of sparkle to her home all year round. She stated, “I don’t think any time is too early.” Tamera echoed her sentiments, expressing support for those who choose to decorate for Christmas throughout the year.

Agreeing with her sister, Tamera emphasised, “If you’re an all-year Christmas decorator, go for it.” She urged individuals to prioritise their happiness and embrace activities that bring them joy. Tamera revealed that she doesn’t shy away from immersing her home in the Christmas ambiance even before December arrives.

Recalling a past Thanksgiving celebration, Tamera shared a lighthearted anecdote about blending Christmas decorations with the Thanksgiving festivities. She reminisced about the time when her guests were greeted by Christmas trees alongside the traditional Thanksgiving setup. Tia added, “It’s an excuse to keep it up longer,” highlighting the joy and warmth associated with prolonged holiday decorations.

The duo, now partners with HomeGoods for the Deck the Everything Day campaign promoting early holiday decor initiatives starting from November 1st, shared insights into their distinct holiday decorating styles for the year. Tia expressed her enthusiasm for “Winter Whimsy,” featuring icy elegance and shades of blue with a hint of sparkle. In contrast, Tamera preferred the classic “Evergreen Icon” theme, characterised by traditional red and green colours with plaids.

Looking ahead to their festive plans, Tia and Tamera expressed excitement about reuniting with their families and focusing on cherished moments. Tamera highlighted the significance of quality time with loved ones during the holidays, emphasising the value of creating lasting memories. As they have families of their own now, the sisters cherish the opportunity to celebrate the season with their children, extending their bonds beyond just themselves.

Given their bustling schedules and geographical separation, coordinating holiday gatherings with their extensive family presents a scheduling puzzle. Tamera resides in Napa Valley, while Tia calls L.A. home, adding an extra layer of complexity to their holiday arrangements. Nevertheless, they remain committed to finding a balance and ensuring they come together to celebrate either Thanksgiving or Christmas, even if both occasions cannot be accommodated in their calendars.

As the Mowry sisters navigate their festive plans and decorating preferences, their shared sentiments on family, traditions, and joy serve as a heartwarming reminder of the essence of the holiday season. Their commitment to creating magical moments with loved ones encapsulates the true spirit of Christmas, transcending debates over the timing of decorations.

In a world filled with varying opinions and perspectives, Tia and Tamera’s outlook on early holiday decorating offers a refreshing stance that encourages embracing traditions and spreading cheer whenever the heart desires. As they prepare to celebrate the season in their unique ways, the sisters exemplify the beauty of family bonds and the joy found in coming together to create special memories that last a lifetime.
