I almost went with the other video they made where Santa and Jesus talk about miracles, but this one actually started me thinking.

Perhaps you're thinking, "Ah, jeez, he's gonna preach on greed this year afterall!"  Well, yeah, I probably will, but I'll keep it brief.

In the midst of all the gift-giving, it is easy to forget that God gave the first Christmas gift--his only begotten Son.  As we give thanks for all the other gifts we'll probably receive this year, let's remember to give thanks for the First One given so long ago.  The one we're waiting for to return.

Amen.
