Eric Church had certain family Christmas tradition he wants to carry over into his family, which includes his wife, Katherine, and son, Boone. “My grandmother, when she was alive, would always come over, and every year she would bring this Christmas story, and some of them were gut-wrenching. I’m not going to lie to you,” says Eric. “They were just heart-tugging stories…about a Christmas miracle…and she would always look all year long and find this story, and then we would have breakfast and she would read it."  Eric says his mom does that now and it's something he is going to do with his family.
