Keeping Jesus Central
This video segment introduces the Seasonal Advent Celebration goal of "focusing on Christ at Christmastime." By using this segment, you can teach the people of your church to be intentional about keeping Jesus central in their Christmas traditions.

Someone Special
What would you do if you knew a dearly loved relative were coming to visit you? You would make special preparations, of course--the same thing you would do if Jesus were coming to your house! This video segment provides a short theological and pastoral definition of Advent as a season of preparing to meet Christ at Christmas.

"A Cup of Christmas Tea"
Your next cup of tea will take on new meaning after you've viewed this dramatized reading! Based on the popular Christmas poem by Tom Hegg (published by Waldman House Press), this video segment recounts the story of a man who rediscovers the aroma of Christmas while visiting--at first, unwillingly-a great aunt he hasn't seen in years. In doing so, he discovers that giving an intangible gift is a Christmas tradition that rewards the giver as much as the one who receives.

Rent-a-Family
Now here's something many of us can relate to! This drama features a married couple who, faced with the thought of a Christmas gathering with their dysfunctional family, decides to rent a "normal" family for the holidays. This humorous drama illustrates the struggle many of us face in our family gatherings during the Christmas season.

Word on the Street
Finally, this video concludes with short "Word on the Street" interviews with people from all walks of life answering Christmas-related questions.

May these video vignettes flavor your Christmas with the presence of Christ!
