A Christmas Morning Prayer to Read with Your Kids
Christmas morning is filled with excitement—pajamas, cinnamon rolls, gift wrap, and the sparkle in our kids’ eyes. But before the flurry of presents and noise of the day begins, what if we paused to remember why we celebrate at all?
This short, simple prayer is something your whole family can read together before opening gifts. Pray this prayer and read the Christmas story from Luke 2. Whether your kids are toddlers or teens, it’s a beautiful way to invite Jesus into your home on the day we celebrate His birth.
Christmas Morning Family Prayer:
Dear Jesus,
Today we celebrate Your birth—the greatest gift the world has ever known. Thank You for coming to us in love, humility, and grace. As we gather as a family, help us remember that this day is about You.
Fill our home with joy and peace. Teach us to be kind to one another, to speak with love, and to slow down and notice the blessings all around us.
Help us carry the spirit of Christmas in our hearts all year long. Thank You for the laughter, the warmth, and the love that fills this home.
We love You, Jesus. And today, we celebrate You.
Amen.
