Everyone knows the Christmas Story – Mary & Joseph, Bethlehem, the birth of Baby Jesus – but do you know the story behind Christmas?

Buck Denver Asks ... Why Do We Call It Christmas? explains absolutely everything! The What's In The Bible cast get stuck into answering, researching and singing away all our Christmassy questions in this 60 minute fun-filled DVD with tons of bonus features.

Created for children aged 4-10, younger children will enjoy the lively 'muppet show' and 'sesame street' style puppets and animations, while older children well into their early teens will engage with the clever and witty songs - a fabulous way to remember key Bible stories, characters and teachings.

In the DVD, Buck Denver and his puppet friends explain:

Why is it called "Christmas?"
Why do we celebrate on Dec. 25th?
What year was Jesus really born?
What do Christmas trees have to do with Jesus?
What about Santa Claus? Where did he come from?
Which came first – Christmas or Hanukah? And which one did Jesus celebrate?
What are the "12 Days of Christmas?"
How does the name "Emmanuel" explain the real meaning of Christmas?

Buck Denver Asks ... Why Do We Call It Christmas? is the perfect DVD for assembly video clips in primary schools, after church entertainment and Christmas holiday viewing for the whole family. Believe us when we say adults will learn just as much as children by watching this educational, informational Christmas Bonanza.

Running Time: Approx. 60 mins

This is an excellent DVD that works through why we call it Christmas (unsurprisingly given the title of the DVD), when Jesus was born, why we celebrate his birthday on the 25th Dec, Christmas trees, Santa Claus (so much better than the VeggieTales offering on this), Hannukah and most importantly: the real meaning of Christmas. Absolutely spot on - informative and fun and a clear presentation of the gospel all aimed at Children aged 5-11. Highly recommended.

The dvd draws in many of the characters made popular in the growing What's in the Bible? series and explains very well for children and adults alike why we call the celebration Christmas, why we use trees and the origina of Santa Claus though not Father Christmas and finishes with a brief but sensitive challenge to respond to the truth of the Christmas story. In my opinion, all that is very good. However, one of the characters which features for the first time in this DVD is an Indian with a strong accent who pulls a rickshaw. The problem is that rather than have him as a human being, they have him as a monkey, which just feels a little racist to me. I had hoped to show this in school and to parent and toddler groups but I daren't risk it.
