‘Twas The Day Before Christmas

It’s Christmas Eve on The Morning Thing! Today we shared some special Christmas Eve prayers from imom.com that can help us re-center our hearts and re-focus our eyes on the true importance of this season.

Each prayer is based around a specific verse, and they’re beautiful reminders of why we need to slow down, pause and reflect on our priorities this Christmas.

We also shared Christmas Eve traditions! Our family’s was always watching Claymation Christmas, an animated holiday special, on the night of Christmas Eve…what’s yours?
