It is the one time in the year,
when Christian stop worshipping serious, sad, adult Jesus,
and start worshipping young, happy, baby Jesus.
I don’t think Jesus is serious and sad!
The Jesus I know is pretty joyful.
We’re in straight away. Welcome to JOLLY.
First up. One snowflake falls.
Mariah Carey.
There are two kinds of people when Christmas decorations
appear in shops.
‘So it begins.’
I mean this is actually an interesting point, I think.
The commercialisation and where is the line?
I think we should be celebrating.
More commercialisation?
Not more, I’m just saying… It’s good to celebrate.
I’m not gonna be like, “We’ve lost the point of Christmas.”
No, part of the point of Christmas is to celebrate.
I believe Japan does not yet understand Christmas.
Oh no, that’s awful.
That’s not real! That is not real!
That is problematic.
It can’t be real.
Is that over the line?
Yes. Yes. That is over the line.
Now we know, now we know.
It’s that time of year again, don’t forget to hang your missile toads.
- Missile toads! - That is brilliant.
- My mum still hasn’t noticed… - Boom!
Yeah, I’ve seen it.
I still haven’t seen it.
There’s Yoda. There’s Yoda.
Christ, born child.
When an old man in a red costume is getting more attention
than you on your birthday.
Sad Jesus noises.
I mean, if Jesus wants more attention at Christmas time,
He should just sign a multi-year deal with Coca Cola. Right?
That’s how Santa…
Oh, Lord, have mercy.
Put himself on the map.
He’s just turning bottles of water into Coke.
Hospitality workers: This is the worst day of my life.
Management who started playing Mariah Carey in late November:
The worst day of your life so far.
Next up. Peaceful manger scene.
Or two T-rexes fighting over a table saw?
I can’t see the T-rexes yet.
- Oh! - Oh!
- Got it at the same time! - When you see it!
- Oh, my gosh! - Wow.
Christmas when you’re 10.
Christmas when you’re 25. Master has given Dobby a sock.
I want to shout-out to someone.
Shout-out to my brother, Charles,
who last Christmas did give me a single pair of socks.
Sounds a lot like you’ve forgiven him, as you rightly should.
Lest you not be forgiven.
I have forgiven him.
This video today is sponsored.
And as it’s sponsored, we thought we’d share some of that Christmas sponsor joy
- OK. - in the form of a little gift for you.
Oh, Rev. Chris.
Take a look.
Case.. ti-fee?
Shout-out to Casetify.
- Casetify! - Our sponsor for today’s video.
Thanks, Casetify!
Open it up!
Oh, wow. Oh, what?
Do I get away with that? Hey, it’s Rev. Chris.
Shall I put it on?
Matching, as well, with your collar.
- Yeah, I know. It is. - The priest look.
Oh dear.
It doesn’t fit your phone.
Well, it’s lucky then we got you another present.
What?
So funny. What?
What? This one is heavy.
That one's your actual present.
Is this an actual iPhone?
- New iPhone. - Oh, my gosh!
What? That’s amazing.
Merry Christmas!
- Happy Christmas! - Thank you, guys.
- Love you. - Thank you very much.
To fit your new case. This is the main present.
I got you a case.
- Oh, I actually got you a case. - Did you?
If you have a new iPhone 13, guys, you can get a new iPhone 13 case.
Thanks, man.

I know, right?
Parents when they tell their kid they couldn’t get a gift.
Parents five seconds later telling their kids to look in the garage.
The front of the Christmas tree.
I mean, we all do it. We all put it in the corner and turn it.
My taste in music. Also, my taste in music.
Favourite Christmas song?
I meant, it will be a hymn.
OK.
So you're on brand.
- I do like the great hymns! - Yeah, sure you do.
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing. A classic.
- Joy to the World. - In the Bleak Midwinter.
Yeah, beautiful.
I feel like that’s a bit of an off-shoot.
Like the Radiohead
- You’ve got Joy to the World, - of carols.
and In the Bleak Midwinter.
Christmas lights.
Ditto.
You’ve heard of Elf on the Shelf, now get ready for
- Seinfeld - in a minefield!
Oh, no!
No!
Toddler, opening present to reveal a toy that plays loud music.
Me, making eye contact with the person who bought it.
It's true. It is true.
As a parent, you literally...
Do people buy your kids loud toys?
Actually, your producer bought
Andy.
Andy bought Rose, when she was 3, a ball pit.
And he and Sho
bought extra balls.
No.
We were like, "Thanks."
So your house is just a ball pit now.
Andy also bought for Juno
bought a dancing Elsa
that is turned on with a switch at the bottom a tiny switch that toddler hands can't reach.
Doesn't stop.
It dances forever.
Until the batteries run out.
Also, it only plays a five-second loop of 'Let it Go'.
Wow.
Let's get Andy something terrible for Christmas.
Andy's the fun uncle.
Oh no, he lives with me.
Every mum on Christmas while opening that gift they swore they weren’t getting you.
Is that kid’s head unusually large?
What’s going on with that kid’s head?
He just looks perfectly adult in the expression.
It’s kinda like Ollie.
Magi from the East: We bring gifts for the King of Israel.
Herod: You’ve bought me gifts?
You bought me gifts, right?
- That is brilliant! - This is such a good meme format.
I love it.
Corporate needs you to find the difference between this picture and this picture.
They’re the same picture.
No, they’re not.
Bless you, Keanu.
He’s on the wall.
He is a good man with a good heart who Jesus loves.
But he is not Jesus.
People who have their birthdays in December.
Christmas.
- Ploughed straight through. - That is me
but that’s a weird meme.
Is that not a school bus getting hit by a train?
I love that I didn’t even question that for a second.
Walken in a Winter Wonderland.
Why did I want to read that in a Christopher Walken accent?
Walken
In a Winter
Wonderland.
That’s really good!
The words are trying to escape his mouth and he’s trying to keep them in.
Alright, next up.
Just picked up my new Christmas tree from Ikea.
No!
You know, this actually happened to us last year.
Yeah, I remember.
You said it was like one every hundred trees or something that just does this.
And you got that one.
Yeah. And it literally just… I wasn’t having a great year last year.
I was like, “Lord. Let them have a tree!”
Alright, that’s it. Christmas memes, 2021.
Yeah. Have a Happy Christmas. I want to wish everyone a Happy Christmas.
Maybe it’s been a difficult year.
There’s certainly things happening, lockdown coming and going
but Christmas is a time of joy, peace and love
so have a great Christmas.
Know you’re loved and precious. And celebrate!
- That’s good. - Good stuff.
- That was really loud, sorry. - That was loud.
Just delivering a message of joy!
Woke up from the sermon.
Didn’t mean to slam that.
