Why 'Home Town' Star Ben Napier Is Celebrating Christmas in April

We'll take any excuse to get in the Christmas spirit, and it seems like Home Town star Ben Napier agrees. For Ben, all it took was an unexpectedly cool day in April for him to kick up his feet, light a fire, and turn up the holiday tunes.

Ben has been known to dress up as Santa Claus in his home town of Laurel, Mississippi, so it should come as no surprise that he has a jolly demeanor. His latest Instagram post shows him in Christmas mode in the middle of spring.

In the cozy photo, Ben is shown propping his feet up in his well-worn Lucchese boots in front of the fireplace, while his young daughter does a little dance. He set the post to the tune of "Skating" by the Vince Guaraldi Trio (you may recognize it from A Charlie Brown Christmas).

Ben wrote, "The temps dropped here last night! I lit a fire, turned on Christmas music, put on my green @bluedeltajeans, and my favorite Sunday boots. It’ll be back to hot weather this week but today I’m celebrating. #christmasinapril🎄"

The HGTV star found lots of support in the comments section from likeminded fans who left messages like, "Christmas music and twinkle lights all year long…we need that kind of joy all around 🎄✨" and "We did the same thing!! It was so nice!! ♥️" Another said, "I would also be watching Home Alone! 😂"

Between filming in Mississippi and traveling to Sebring, Florida, for the next installment of Home Town Takeover, we know the Napiers are soaking up cooler weather when they can get it!
