“All things bright and beautiful,” her daughter’s favorite …Jenna Bush Hager, the co-host of Today with Hoda & Jenna, proudly shared her family’s 2020 holiday greeting card on a recent episode of her live show. The photo features herself, her husband Henry Hager, and their three young children Mila, Poppy Louise, and Hal. It also displays the lyrics of the classic hymn “All Things Bright and Beautiful,” which Hager says is her daughter Poppy’s favorite:
All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small
All things wise and wonderful
The Lord God made them all …
While Hager chose a humorous greeting last year, a pun on her son’s name, Happy Hal-idays!, she explained that this thoughtful message “felt appropriate this year.” Hager also shared how she, like many Americans, won’t be traveling to gather with relatives this year. Regardless, she expressed a determination “to embrace all that season brings,” to hang her grandmother’s needlepoint stockings and to “watch the magic” in her kids’ eyes on Christmas morning.
It has the most heartfelt message! https://t.co/gUXYc8rbrs
