Maren Morris doesn’t want to split duties between motherhood and performing

• Prior to CMA Country Christmas, Maren explained what she and her family do during the holiday season.
• “A little Christmas gaming is great,” Maren said.
•  Maren says her Humble Quest tour is one of her professional highlights.

There is a Christmas custom that Maren Morris has been doing for over ten years.

Prior to CMA Country Christmas, which airs on December 8, the “My Church” singer explained what she and her family do during the holiday season in an exclusive video. Maren also made it apparent that her customs are full of enjoyment.

“My favorite family holiday tradition is we go to my mom’s side of the family typically on Christmas Eve and we do White Elephant or Bad Santa,” Maren said. “We do that game, but then, we also play Left Center Right. It’s like a dice game that you win money on.”

Maren mentioned that she and her loved ones have been playing the Left Right Center game for quite some time. “A little Christmas gaming is great,” Maren said.

“We have for the past 15 years,” she said. “It’s just fun because you can get loud and crazy and boisterous with your family and sometimes walk aways with some ones. And then, we go back to my parent’s house and have Christmas cookies and we watch Christmas movies and fall asleep.”

Maren looked back on the year she had, even though she has many holiday celebrations to look forward to this month. In the video, the 32-year-old revealed that her Humble Quest tour, which began in June and ended on December 2, holds a particular place in her heart.

“One of my professional highlights of 2022 is definitely just being able to headline a tour,” Maren said. “I haven’t gotten to do that since 2019. So, being able to really curate every detail of your show, and set list, and merch and the set design, it’s something I really love doing and got to execute this year.”

In addition to having complete freedom, Maren considers the year 2022 to be a personal victory because it allowed her to take her 2-year-old son Hayes, whom she shares with husband Ryan Hurd, on tour without having to choose between being a mother and an artist every day.

“Bringing my son on the road was a big one for me,” she noted. “Just being able to be a mother and an artist on the road simultaneously, not having to split duties or do one or the other. Being able to do both, that felt like a personal and professional high.”

Next up, Maren will appear on CMA Country Christmas Dec. 8 on ABC. The 13th annual holiday special, which is set to be hosted by Carly Pearce, will not only feature performances by both Maren and Carly, but also by Steven Curtis Chapman, Dan + Shay, Scotty McCreery, Old Dominion, Molly Tuttle and The War And Treaty.
