We always knew the Duggar family loved the Christmas season, but we didn't realize how big the celebration was until now!

In a new YouTube video posted on the family's Twitter, Josh Duggar gives fans a new look inside Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's home days before the holidays.

"We need to share the blessings God has given us with others and that's really what Christmas is all about," he explains. "The Christmas spirit is about giving."

When they're not sending (and receiving) Christmas cards all around the world, the 19 Kids and Counting stars are creating baskets for neighbors and those in need.

Jinger Duggar, who just celebrated her 21st birthday, displayed some of the unique items including fruit, Vitamin C packets and a Bible.

Josh then proceeds to introduce fans to the kitchen and buffet area, where the entire family will enjoy turkey, stuffing, green beans, homemade cookies and much more.

In between the presents and tasty food, the deeply religious family makes sure every celebration begins and ends with Jesus.

"The true meaning and true spirit of Christmas really is right here," Josh says as he points to one of the many nativity scenes in the home. "What our lord and savior Jesus Christ has done for us."

One thing notably missing from the spacious house, however, is a giant Christmas tree. When asked why they choose to opt out of the familiar item, Michelle explained it's just not a priority.

"Well, we celebrate Jesus' birthday so we have a really big 'Happy Birthday, Jesus' banner," she explained. "Christ is born and peace on earth, and we really try to focus on the real meaning of Christmas."

She added, "Just getting to sit down with everyone in one group and read the story of the first Christmas and then singing 'Happy Birthday, Jesus' and having a special celebration. We look forward to it the whole month of December."

And what better way to end a Duggar video than with the entire gang together? From pregnant Jill Duggar to newlyweds Ben Seewald and Jessa Duggar, you have to watch the group sing "Joy to the World."

Merry Christmas, Duggar family!
