Jesus Gets Nothing for Christmas by Hank Green - Video LP

[TheWarnerSister]

This is literally my favorite holiday song. No reason a song about Jesus can't be cute :D

[TheSunshineNetwork]

me: *giggling at the song*

my bf: "whats your problem?"

me: "jesus gets nothing for christmas. wanna hear?"

bf: ".... youre going to hell."

XD

[LadyLatias]

SHUT UP AND ENJOY THE SONG FILLED WITH AWESOME.

[andrineslife]

Yay, it's now socially acceptable to listen to this :) 

[CrazedAuthor]

My family makes him a birthday cake every year...then we eat it. Jesus must be pissed at all of us.

[Mylifeofdragons]

in the corner there is an add with Era Detergent... with Chuck Norris. How well their advertisement staff understands the internet...

[mirusedna]

We make Jesus a birthday cake every year...does that count? Then again, what's a birthday without prezzies? I wonder if Jesus thinks I'm a douche bag for that?

[IWishIWasHermioneG]

What's his address? I'll put him on my list.

[TheWarnerSister]

Turns out I really love this song. :D

[yanran93]

♪ How he longs to hear/Santa's reindeer ♫

I dunno why, I just love the melody for that part.

[jag519]

@PeaceEnmityLove haha, yeah, pretty much.

It wasn't really random, they wanted itt to be on the day of other god birth holidays and stuff. haha.

[BeautifullyTragicxx]

I do recall Jesus being Baptized...

[jag519]

@BeautifullyTragicxx yeah, it used to be a jew thing, that some jews did.

[sam22ish]

he would because its his birthday

[unforgettable789]

@RandomLari Very true. Every Christmas season the people closest to me hear my rant on commercialized Christmas. Sure, a lot of Christians/Catholics/whatever variation of the religion don't go to church every Sunday, but they still go on Christmas. If you're going to celebrate the holiday and not even go to church, you've completely lost the meaning of the holiday.

Same thing for Easter, only x43578946 because it's the most important holiday of the religion.

[kizzybixum]

This is the same beat as "This Isn't Hogwarts". Hmmmmm... Well, still a good song.

[GONEmypurpleflapjack]

@kizzybixum and from 00:15 to 00:18 it sound like part of "four foot squirrel"

[chocoholic718]

LOL Jesus playing gta iv

[RandomLari]

Yeah, Jesus was a Jew, but if you look at America today, Christmas has been commercialized. It seems as if even if you aren't a Christian, you still give presents for the holiday.

[Ianryth]

@RandomLari lol, I'm athiest and I still get presents for christmas. It would just be weird because the rest of my family is christian and celebrate christmas

[Anonomoose13]

@RandomLari Athiest advantage taking of holidays to get free gifts! :P

[kewlness888]

@TheAfishinwater Well, a song called "Jesus Gets Nothing for Hannukah" would be really hard to rhyme

[herecomesthesun41]

lol, i dont understand why everything needs to be such controversy, especially on youtube. I don't feel that there was anything in this song that would trigger a religious debate. Its pretty neutral. Christmas IS the celebration of the birth of christ. Jesus WAS a real person, that IS a fact. The only thing that is opinion is weather he is the son of God or not and that is not referenced in this song. Calm down silly people.

[Papptherapper]

@herecomesthesun41 fact according to what it is in the realm of possibility that jesus existed there is no sure fire proof and there is absolutely no evidence the a crazy cult leader came back from the dead

[herecomesthesun41]

@Papptherapper okay that comment was a little unnecessary and a bit ironic lol, i was just trying to say that there is no need for the arguments on this vid because nothing in it is there to spark it. if the song said Harry Potter gets nothing for christmas there would not be this huge argument over it. it just seems ridiculous to me. Also i mentioned nothing of jesus resurrecting..

[peachmelba73]

I thought he was going to say gallifrey instead of galilee.

[jag519]

@peachmelba73 oh my god, jesus is a timelord!

[GONEmypurpleflapjack]

@peachmelba73 ME TOO!

[peachmelba73]

I thought he was going to say gallifrey instead of galilee.

[percyslilsister]

i've always been taught that our present to him is us being good and kind

[PadfootLivesFree]

I keep saying Galifrey instead of Galilee >.<; Damn you, Doctor!! Haha XD

[BiggerThanChris]

Hey Guys :)

Were an Iris Pop Punk band :P

We just uploaded our new original - I Love You Anyway :)

So check us out and tell us what you think :P

P.s Great Job Hank ;)

love the LP :)

Thumbs up?:)

[scaboodle]

The fact he was Jewish probably contributes to the lack of Christmas presents.

[PeriwinkleJanelle]

@jwb4291 santa gets milk and cookies...

[AZproductions117]

SANTA WAS INVENTED BY COCA COLA!

[stormhunter77]

@AZproductions117 but i remember reading somewhere about some st. christopher? but coca cola came up with the whole fat man in red and white i think. but the concept of santa was from this other dude.. i think... >.<

[AZproductions117]

@stormhunter77 Well sorta, but mostly it was invented by Coca Cola. They created the image.

[AZproductions117]

Everyone seems to be structuring comments like this.

In two randomly spaced lines.

[Ebsebius]

I made up my mind, I am going to put Jesus on my list this year.

I'll sacrifice my goat.

[epsilon127]

It's even worse that he doesn't get presents on Christmas since it's also his birthday. :P

[Ilinotheblue]

i swam in the sea of galilee

[Almanal44]

And I thought Hank was an atheist?

[mskillzeee]

@Almanal44 I don't know why you assumed this. I'm uncertain of what his religious beliefs are. Even if he is an atheist, what does that have to do with singing this song? Nothing.

[AmericanTimelord97]

Fine. You've convinced me. I'll buy a present for Jesus this year. Where do I send it?

[jelbertie]

@AmericanTimelord97 Maybe that's why he doesn't get anything O.O

[F1opel]

Santa Gets milk and cookies

[biauchoas]

i'm pretty sure not everybody thinks of Jesus in the Christmas Eve, actually. That's sad, Jesus is so awesome.

[bwitishspacecraft]

Surely it would be his birthday?

[stalker9500]

awesome!!

[bjoel2]

i think you need to fix the lyrics

[Summerkins]

I have a friend who has presents for Jesus each year. And they bake him a birthday cake. Sooo,.....there's one? lol

[jag519]

Why would Jesus get anything for Xmas? He's a Jew

[Papptherapper]

@jag519 hanks an atheist Christmas is really saturnalia a pagan holiday read things it is good for you

[jag519]

@Papptherapper And why would jesus get something for a pagan holiday?

Logic is important, it helps you understand what you read.

[SuperPrettyCOLORS]

@jag519 yeah but he's the first christian... (^.^) <(pwned!)

[jag519]

@SuperPrettyCOLORS actually, he was just a good jew. He wasn't a christian, and Christianity took a long time until after his death to form. It didn't form right after his death either, it was a collection of cults not knowing what they wanted to do, until some of them eventually formed into what began to be what Christianity started to become.

[WiiplayXbox65]

@jag519 Way to FTBA

[jag519]

@WiiplayXbox65 You forgot the D

And don't worry, in youtube comments I don't forget to be awesome

[crashedwin]

@jag519 no he didn't, if D was there, it wouldn't make sense

[BenGriffithsReviews]

@WiiplayXbox65 No I don't think it was an anti-Semitic remark, it's just that Jews don't celebrate Christmas.

[amaya1334]

Poor Jesus :(

I think about Jesus on Christmas day D:

Santa is stealing all his thunder = =

[k4386]

All these witty comments are making my life, guys. :D

[dementor7711]

I think he got gold, frankincense and myrrh, lol

[akissy]

@dementor7711 As seen in Sivartis video about this same issues: "Yes, but that was once!"

[terrancelueckgen]

such an eye opener

[Yessacmidnight]

Good thing i'm an Atheist. xD

[Seabutcher]

Huh. Looks like I lived up to my college nickname after all.

[TheAfishinwater]

He is also a Jew, and therefore doesn't celebrate Christmas.

[jforjustin001]

@TheAfishinwater Too many people mistake Jews and Judaism for each other...

[PoliteCheese1414]

@TheAfishinwater except for the fact that he was the cause of it....

[Veek4]

@TheAfishinwater Ummm, wouldn't he get like eight presents then, since that whole Hunakkah thingy.

[Veek4]

@TheAfishinwater Ummm, wouldn't he get like eight presents then, since that whole Hunakkah thingy.

[ArentWeInAPickle]

@Veek4 No, Jews only exchange Christmas for Chanukkah in the U.S. In Israel, Purim is the gift-giving holiday. And that's in March.

[cheesepuffguy]

@TheAfishinwater But he would still have a rockin' birthday wouldn't he?

[DucLeJaques]

I thought you were going to call Jesus an ungrateful Jew because it rhymed....

"Jesus is a capenter, you know that that is true"

and he's tired of being called an ungrateful jew.

Sorry Hank, I thought you were going to make a Jew joke :(

[yvinvin]

Im jewish but i dont care

THIS IS MY CHRISTMAS CAROL :)

[tobiosnmakky]

lots of people dont get presents because they are dead

[GlobalWarmingRox]

2 people forgot to be awesome

[Level10Nerd]

when i was little, i kept making sure on christmas that jesus was dead and he wouldnt mind if i ate his cake

[aritheflower]

well.... i know who is goin on mah list

[sirbestnameever]

he gets love which is a crap gift

[serybs]

I feel like you guys are forgetting to be awesome. Let's not have religious debates and enjoy the song. Kay? :)

[DislecsikGlych]

i bet after this song was released hundreds of people asked santa to give Jesus a drill-bit set just for the hell of it.

[MrSamwise666]

was his actual birthday meant to be in like august or april or something?

[GinnyStoleMyMan]

@MrSamwise666 It's speculated to have been in mid-spring, yes.

[Brokoro]

I'd give Jesus some stakes, a crown and a rock to hide behind. =D

[Arat1t1]

I thought he sang "It's that time of the month again" ^^

[Llawliet246]

@Arat1t1 Year. Month. Difference. XD

[animefreak134XD]

he gets Bday presents insted

[jwb4291]

i dont think santa gets anything either

[EternalOutbreak]

@jwb4291 santa gets buttloads of cookies and milk!

[NicolasP200]

@jwb4291 milk and cookiez!!

[Animapersis]

@jwb4291 Santa gets cookies and milk...? :)

[CellPhoneMern]

@jwb4291 Maybe Ms. Claus does give him a present /wink /wink.

[djbarbe]

@jwb4291 He gets cookies and milk.

[LearningFeather]

@jwb4291 He gets letters! ^.^

[Tsugo582]

@jwb4291 he gets milk and cookies? and flying reindeer. i think he has enough.

:P

[katikar1]

@jwb4291 he gets the rest of the year off though

[Haydeez64]

@jwb4291 Yeah but Jesus doesn't get milk and cookies like that fat Santa does.

[mskillzeee]

@jwb4291 He gets free food. That's a gift :P

[KlcJane]

@jwb4291 Milk and cookies!

[mrthebluejay]

@jwb4291 or the elves

[EMdominguez92]

@jwb4291 Milk and cookies?

[8yume]

@jwb4291 It's not Santa's birthday, though...

[akissy]

@8yume it's not Jesus' either. o.o Jesus was born around March, he was concieved six months after his cousin John Baptiste, and if people have made the correct calculations given it was Zacharias' turn in the temple, then he was born around March. o.o

[8yume]

@akissy Lol at the "o.o" expression. Maybe I phrased that sentence wrong. Let me try again. The holiday wasn't created for Santa. It was created for the memory (memoration?) of Christ's birth. That should clear things up better. Does it?

[akissy]

@8yume Nope, because the celebration was created to celebrate the Winter Solstice and then St. Nicolae claimed it when he started giving out presents for them poor kids. o.o

[8yume]

@akissy No. That's "Santa's" side of the story... It's called CHRIST-MAS for a reason. But, come on. This is is youtube...an Internet website where people post videos. Let's not debate over this. Truce? :D

[akissy]

@8yume That's history's side of the story. Yeah, and before Christ it was still celebrated, look it up. ^^ It's quite an interesting celebration, together with the Sanheim. ^^

and Truce alright. ^^ I'm kinda busy modeling Plant vs. Zombies keychians. XD

[8yume]

@akissy Lol...wait a minute not lol.........that actually sounds pretty cool! You go any pics of them floating around on the internet? :D

[jwb4291]

@8yume sorry for the delayed reply but...theres a ton of evidence that jesus wasnt born in december so its not jesus' birthday either

[8yume]

@jwb4291 The conversation was between me and akissy and it's already dissolved. She said something similar and my reply was "...The holiday wasn't created for Santa. It was created for the memory (memoration?) of Christ's birth...' and she said something else and blablala. The point is that it's over. Truce? :D

[jwb4291]

@8yume haha alright, ive been on spring break all week so today was my first day on youtube in a week :)

[kainniak1]

its hard to get a present for some one who isn't real

[LittleBlackSparrow]

@kainniak1 can i ask you a question? why do you say he's not real? is it because that's what your school stuffed down your throat? because if you actually look at it there is actually evidence that he was/is real

[Brokoro]

@LittleBlackSparrow Sounds like you were brain washed by pastors who stuffed "his word" down your throat.

The man is a legend if anything at best. His miracles were "myths" and the bible was an edited manuscript to fit the kings of the times.

I'd love to ask what are sources to your so called "evidence" that he was real.

thnx k bye - Ex-thiest.

[Fullmetalsgal]

@Brokoro I'd like you to show me some evidence he didn't exist. There isn't any because he DID exist. There pretty much a recognized fact that there was a man called Jesus who lived in galilee and all that. It's whether or not he's the son of God/messaiah that's to be proved.

[LittleBlackSparrow]

@Brokoro actually i do not allow myself to get "brainwashed" i hear something and then i research it instead of taking someones word for it. as for his miracles being myth, i've had things in my life that were just to perfect to be coincidence. and as for the Bible being edited, what are you basing that info on? did you know that there isn't one contradiction in the Whole Bible. if it was edited by many different people throughout history the whole book would have been full of contradictions.

[LittleBlackSparrow]

@Brokoro i dare you to look through the Bible and look for contradictions (remember to read each verse in context in order to fully understand what is going on).

[Brokoro]

@LittleBlackSparrow I don't feel like taking up pages upon pages of DFTBA comment section arguing with you. I'd gladly argue with you in PMs.

There are hundreds of contradictions in the bible almost laughable you said there were none. Made me have a good laugh. thanks

[TheSkittleMages]

@Brokoro bona fide christian and i feel sorry for you but dude it really is great to have a god who loves you.

[Brokoro]

@TheSkittleMages It's not so great to have a god that demands you fear him and you love him at the same time, is okay with slavery, will burn your gay brother, will kill your adulterating father, and yet still loves you. I'm feel sorry for you that you need prayers and love from a spiteful hating god who has killed countless and contradicted his own word

Hopefully one day you will realize that your own morals are better than his

Because you have the capacity to love all, but dont because of him

[JaredVanderpool]

@Brokoro Fear in God is not the fear you are thinking about. It is to be in a state of awe.

[mevexatpede]

@Brokoro humans are imperfect and throughout history have done terrible things that they think or claim are in the name of God. Jesus' God is anything but spiteful and hating. Jesus' God is the one that frees the slaves, loves the gay brother, and forgives the adulterating father.

Where do you think your morals and your capacity for love come from?

(I think you meant that Jesus didn't perform miracles. You can say that if you like, but it IS historically inaccurate to say that he didn't exist)

[PoliteCheese1414]

@Brokoro im sorry but please examine the evidence before making hasty conclusions about things. it is a fact that there was a man named Jesus living in Galilee who performed miracles. Unfortunately for your debate, there is absolutely no evidence against the existence of Jesus Christ except for what you may call your reasoning. It's great to have a God who loves us enough to sacrifice his son for us. please consider this :D

[FireclawDrake]

@PoliteCheese1414 Actually there is some evidence that Jesus may never have existed. But either way, the only "proof" Jesus did miracles is the Bible, which has been PROVEN inaccurate.

[PoliteCheese1414]

@FireclawDrake and what are these proofs and inaccuracies? can you tell me or are you just saying this because it is the popular thing to say?

[amaya1334]

@FireclawDrake: actually they havn't been proven inaccurate

historians just find many similar text from earlier

that doesn't mean the Bible copied it off the earlier documents.

They may just be documented differently from different people, like historical events such as the flood. I've seen documents from other ancient civilization that have the flood in there, it doesn't mean Bible copied it off of the document. That probably means it actually happened is witnessed by many.

[akissy]

@amaya1334 the problem with that is the hundreds of years separating the events. o.o

[mevexatpede]

@PoliteCheese1414 if you're talking about the Mohammad who was the founder of Islam, you might be interested to know that he did not blow himself up. He died of an illness. Explosives weren't invented by the 7th century.

[mevexatpede]

@PoliteCheese1414 all right, just making sure. It's actually closer to 2%, but I see your point. Still, I hope you are aware that the insensitive and discriminative stereotypes in you comments clash absurdly with the "Polite" in your name.

[mevexatpede]

@PoliteCheese1414 by using the name "Mohammed" as a synecdoche for radical suicide bombers, you did assign this to Muslims... please, lets just not FTBA. Whether or not you meant it to be, your comment was offensive. Discrimination, insensitivity, and stereotyping increase WorldSuck, and we don't want that.

[PoliteCheese1414]

@mevexatpede primitive explosives were invented by the Ming dynasty much before the 7th century.

[akissy]

@kainniak1 And FROM someone who isn't real too. XD So it's a tie? o.o

[blackbirdxo]

It is a little odd that it's supposedly HIS birthday but he doesn't even get an Easy Bake Oven!

[AZproductions117]

@blackbirdxo Actually, scientists think that he was born in spring, hence the shepards being out with their sheep, whereas if it was winter... They'd freeze.

[ARR624]

@AZproductions117 Scientists?

[AZproductions117]

@ARR624 RELIGIOUS scientists.

[ARR624]

@AZproductions117 RELIGIOUS philosophers. Science? I don't think so.

[AZproductions117]

@ARR624 RELIGIOUS scientists. 

[ARR624]

@AZproductions117 You're very stubborn, aren't you?

[AZproductions117]

@ARR624 Stubborn as a mule :P

[ARR624]

@AZproductions117 You and everyone else I seem to talk to.

Not that I'm not, but I can't prove my points anymore.

Oh, well. At least I still know I'm right.

[AZproductions117]

@ARR624 Actually yor aren't right. Not all scientists have to think that one theory is correct. You show me the proof of the Big Bang, or stfu.

[ARR624]

@AZproductions117 Existence.

[AZproductions117]

@ARR624 Prove that the Lord our God didn't create it.

[ARR624]

@AZproductions117 Prove that he did.

[AZproductions117]

@ARR624 I say again, prove that he didn't.

[ARR624]

@AZproductions117 The logic works both ways. There is no proof for either argument.

[GallifreyanGirl40]

@PyroMighty This is the channel of Hank's record label which has many nerdfighter artists. This is Hank's song though.

[samD360]

I didn't think I was subscribed to this...

[PyroMighty]

Is this Hank and or John? I don't remember subscribing.
