I think this is a very powerful message. As the info box says, this is to be used in conjunction with a message, a lot like a stepping stone. I agree, it can't stand on it's own but that was never it's intention :) As someone in ministry, I treasure these videos that provide a place to start a sermon without telling the sermon before you've started. Well done Igniter.
I would suggest fading out the entire sentence except for "Christ" and "?"
My assumption is the message is provoking us to celebrate Christmas all year not just this season but to constantly remember Christ. Like others have said it is a well made video that just doesn't leave me with a clear message. Think of un-churched people who see it, what do they take away?
I liked it. I remember one girl got upset because I told her to give to those less fortunate than her and not to waste her money on stupid things she didn't need, and she told me I ruined her Christmas. or some b.s. like that.
@RocknForJesus you probably did ruin her Christmas, if only to feel better about yourself. not my reading of the message of the Gospels :-) its about love.
@susan196three Then you probably skipped over that part where Jesus called the Pharisees a brood of vipers, and whipped the merchants who were selling their stuff in the church.
@contraryness13 Maybe it's intended to be used as part of a service where you help answer that question? I dunno. But other Igniter films stand on their own much better than this one.
@contraryness13 what it meant to say is what benefit (spiritually) did you get from this Christmas? is there anything still 'going on' from your Christmas (e.g. Spiritual Nourishment) in any way?
Oooooookkk kinda odd

I like this EXCEPT as said by others you need a lead-in to the next thought or it just comes across as a downer and I know that's not what's meant.

Even atheists can use this video. Not even a HINT of Christ. ACLU approved.

On the last statement
"What is left in your Christmas?"

This was just kind of depressing... I get that it's supposed to be challenging/thought-provoking, but it didn't really point towards a solid message.

@contraryness13 Unfortunately I agree. Definitely not Igniter's best work.
