Why Do We Call It Christmas? Giveaway and Review

From the makers of What's in the Bible and Veggie Tales, Phil Vischer created a unique one of a kind DVD for children that specifically addresses Christmas and its traditions. Buck Denver is sitting alone in his cabin in the woods and wants to know what all those things we do at Christmas mean to signify the celebration of Jesus' birth. He decides he will invite a few friends over to explore what it all means.

Instead of bouncing our kids between "Jesus Christmas" and "Santa Christmas," wouldn't it be great if they understood how all these traditions fit together? How they ALL point us to Jesus? We think THAT would be a holiday worth celebrating. Topics of cutting down trees, hanging stockings, Santa Claus, are all discussed from their points of origins to show how each of them points to Jesus Christ and His birthday. You might know the Christmas story, but do you know the story of Christmas? Don't miss he whimsical, educational, Christmical party to end all Christmas parties as Buck Denver Asks...Why Do We Call It Christmas?

Viewers will understand the significance of why we celebrate Christmas on December 25th, the meaning behind the Christmas Tree, St. Nicholas day celebrations, the meaning behind Santa's red suit, where did we get the word Christmas from, what is Hanukkah, and the story of the Upside Down Kingdom. As Buck learns more from his friends as they make their way to his cabin for a Christmas celebration, he begins to understand just how wonderful our Christmas traditions mean and how we can explain them to our friends and family as we celebrate the real meaning behind the season in terms that are easy for kids to understand.

What's In The Bible # 3

In What’s In the Bible #3, Wanderin’ in the Desert, Buck Denver and his cast of friends take us through the next three books of the Bible—Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy—helping kids understand how these books fit in with Genesis and Exodus to make up the Pentateuch and to set the stage for the trials and victories of God’s people. The question “Did this stuff really happen?” is also answered.

From the man who made vegetables talk (and sing and dance and tell Bible stories) comes this third release in the engaging new series that walks kids through the entire Bible! Each DVD is filled with an entertaining cast of characters who bring the most powerful Bible stories to life using humor, creative storytelling, and fun songs. Join VeggieTales creator Phil Vischer on a wild and zany journey and see the world’s most amazing book come to life.

My Review:

I have had the wonderful opportunity to view all three of these wonderful DVD's from the creator of Veggie Tales Phil Vischer and I think these would make for a wonderful addition to those of you that are homeschooling your children. Whether you use them as a history lesson in learning about the different places mentioned on the DVD and then looking those places up on a map, or even using the musical songs to enhance a child's love of music, there are so many ways to incorporate a bit of fun into learning more about God's word and the Bible.

In the DVD, Wandering in the Desert part 3, you learn about Leviticus and the rules governing the tribes of Israel and why it was necessary. This is also a critical part of learning why rules are necessary in our world, our cities and in our families as well as churches. Just another valuable way to teach your children about why rules are necessary.

I have received a complimentary copy of the DVD, What's in the Bible, Wandering in The Desert # 3, from Tyndale House Publishers for my honest review. My 17 year old daughter is the biggest fan in our family and has already learned all the words to these songs. So you can see it's truly fun for the whole family. I would rate this DVD a perfect 5 stars for great family entertainment with a message!
