Hey, guys, it's not that difficult to connect the dots. At least I used to have access to some protestant doctrine and they were quite clear about this: presenting each other is a collective reminder of God's present - Christ, i.e. a novel way of salvation - to the people. (Santa - St. Nicholas, who excelled in charity towards children - is a digression. In many, maybe most, countries of christian tradition he is celebrated separately, on 6th December. He was just promoted in the USA as a more fitting character in a multicultural population. Like, a Jew couldn't care less about Jesus...) Not that I believe... But I like knowing what I don't believe ;-)
So we’ll all see Julie in the next season of Kim’s Convenience! C’mon Gerald, do a good one for Julie- she made you a guest appearance in her channel..
The spring birthday is spot on (but I think it's earlier, like Mar/Apr? and not 2018 years ago, the historic Jesus was born in ...4 BCE? or 6 BCE? I forget which. But yeah, in spring. All the normal "Christmas" traditions are actually Yule traditions. Christians took over established holidays so they'd be accepted. Santa is an amalgamation of both St Nicholas (c. 300 CE) and Father Christmas (much older, Norse tradition. based on Odin.).
I've been hearing these ideas a lot this year so wanted to share the background: It is well established that Christ died on March 25th and it is tradition that the annunciation, the creation of Adam (theologically Jesus is the new Adam - one man's obedience to amend one man's disobedience) and the creation of the whole world itself in spring also took place on this date (originally March 25th was the Spring Equinox). So then, nine months later Jesus would have been born on December 25th (significant being the Winter Solstice). The calculation of the year of his birth was founded on a number of sources including the reign of Herod as well as astronomical alignments that help explain the star the wise men followed. The 'error' is that we don't have a year 0 like we don't have a 0th century, so the year 2021 is Jesus's 2020th birthday. Yes, Father Christmas is a reinvention of the Jul Father merged with St Nikolas, but "Christmas" is simply from the Catholic liturgy "Christ's Mass" and can't be older.
@@guybolt I'm afraid you're quite misinformed. The truth is that we don't know what "dates" any of those events happened. Our calendars have changed and been adjusted many times over the intervening millennia. Jesus was crucified either on Passover or the day before (depending on which Jewish Calendar was used.) Passover is usually near the Spring Equinox but it varies because the Jews used a Lunar Calendar, not a Solar one. Jesus's birth was certainly not on December 25th, but the actual date has been lost. Some question whether it was in the winter because the shepherds may not have been "watching their flocks by night" in the colder months. Jesus was born sometime between 6 and 4BC (by modern reckoning) because Dionysius miscalculated the number of years when he created the AD dating system in 525 (He was surely using the best information available to him at the time. In any case we still don't know the exact year. Historical records just aren't good enough. According to the genealogical records in the Bible, there were 4000 years between Adam and Jesus. There is no mention of what date or part of the year Creation occurred. The Jewish calendar didn't begin until the Exodus.
True story: one time at work there was a Post-It note left on my office door that read "Jesus is looking for you." Turns out the note was written by one of my colleagues to let me know that one of the maintenance men, Jesus, was looking for me. :)
Please, bring this up every year again so we can make it a christmas tradition 🙏!! I missed this one, only YT recommended a short from last year and I only accidentally read the answer to a comment that lead me to this one. This is timeless and really needs to come up every year again 😁!!
Well if Jesus were here I'm sure he'd say - thank you for celebrating my birthday on the wrong day with gifts for yourselves and working in a bright red non-clown into the story.
This skit is GOLD.....I might have gone a step further with crusifiction....ok you nailed me to a cross with a slow death...then you celebrate my birth by giving each other presents you don't need.....which is about as bizzaro as Thanksgiving a day we behave like gluttons when logically it would make to be a day of fasting where you really would experience gratitude for what you have.
-It's your birthday. -No, it's not. -Yes, it is. -No, it's not. -Also it's kind of weird to celebrate the birthday of a guy you JUST met. -I can probably get a phone somewhere else. -Yeah! These say more than they intend. Hahahaha
You need to revisit this - Jesus visits a lockdown Christmas after spending the last 2 years seeing what all the fuss was about, got all excited and ready to party and being turned away because the pandemic. 🤣🤣

Too funny :-) " Are those presents for me?..So you got each other presents for my birthday.."
No thanks, I'm driving... Damn, that was subtle. Love it :)
obviously I am not in on this one.
"Jesus take the wheel"
He doesn't HAVE TO change that water into wine! Jesus! Oops, I mean... Damn!
@@joevenuti1201 Did you just condemn Jesus to h e l l ? ! 1 !! !?! !1
I kinda saw that one coming as soon as he offered a drink. 😂 It was still a tasteful joke and I enjoyed it.
This is hilarious!! Jesus just poking holes and confused about Christmas!
thanks!!
Oh my God, Hilarious!
@Daniel LaPlume was that pun intended?
At least he got to poke the holes this time. It’s only fair.
@@thehousespouse aaaahhh 🔥🔥
i cant be the only one that caught the "Water? -no im driving later." joke, can I? xD
Definitely not the only one.
Got it, too. Hilarious!
*I missed the joke. Because I heard "drink" and didn't clue in on the "water", so the "no I'm driving later" response to "drink" seemed appropriate.*
Ikr that was hilarious
you're not that special xd
"u got each other presents for my birthday" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂thats hilarious hahah nice video

You made the whole holiday weird. Great job, Julie
It is weird, but that's not Julie's fault at all. She just made a very good point!
I like how Jesus strolls in without closing the door.
"Hey, were you born in a barn?"
"Correct"
Ha! Love the double meaning. Somewhat related: My immediate thought was, “who sits on a stranger’s couch like that?”
🏆
Where does it say that? I've watched like ten times.
@@ccampbell415 seek help?
@@ccampbell415 lol, it doesn't say it. "Were you born in a barn?" is an expression, OP was adding their own joke to the sketch
Jesus:Did Paul put you up to this?
Me: yes Paul and your other deciples wrote a whole book about it.
well..i mean...some people wrote a book about it using the names of paul and your disciples
@Michael Kevin Millet wdym?
When she responded to “I’m Jesus” with “oh my God” I lost it. Literally, though! 😂 I really hope that was intentional.
His response, "Yes, exactly" 😂
Well, the second half of the joke is him replying "Yes, exactly", so you can be sure it was intentional
Would you like water? "Oh, no I'm driving."
That took me out
I'm a Christian. I laughed pretty hard at this. Well done.
Same
"Would you like some water? No thanks, I'm driving later." underrated joke of the century.
hahaha 'that's for my nephew jesus', well tell him happy birthday.' it's not his birthday' hahahahaha
One of my favourite improvs
So so good. None of the traditions make any sense! LOL 😂 Thank to Jesus for pointing it all out. 👍😉👍
Thanks to Julie.
@@Raison_d-etre He meant the Jesus in the skit 🙄😒
Well some people decorate with nativity scenes
"We do this all the time."
"Why?"
"...um... I'm realizing I do need to explain my choices but I can't."
Nice touch with Christmas not being Jesus’s actual bday 😂
Gerald? Haha Season 5 should include a Christmas episode of Kim's Convenience!!!
I@an Yes! That’s where I have seen him, thank you 😄
God damn there it is hahaha I was trying to figure where he was from lol i was getting annoyed
Oh thank goodness! that was driving me nuts!!
Thank you!!! This is circulating on Facebook right now and I came here to exactly find this answer.
Yep! That’s Ben Beauchemin !!!
I was actually telling my wife that "Kim's Convinience" needed a Christmas special. Well, we got Gerald as Jesus.
Yesssss!!!!
Julie you're such a genius, you manage to make everything awkward. Props to Carson and Ben too. Christmas is ruined lmao
It would take SO long to explain modern Christmas to Jesus. And it would piss him off S0 much.
modern?? santa is modern??
LMFAO I SHRIEKED AT "god bless you" "oh, okay"
"So you guys got each other presents... for my birthday..?" 😂😂😂
Oh my gosh, that's Gerald from Kim's Convenience. Wow! Didn't know you guys knew each other. Awesome!!!
So we’ll all see Julie in the next season of Kim’s Convenience!
C’mon Gerald, do a good one for Julie- she made you a guest appearance in her channel..
@@francislirios9730 I second this.. Julie Nolke has to be a part of Kim's Convenience somehow, like a cameo are even a bigger part!!
@@francislirios9730 But he’s in Jeju! 😭
Hahahahaha! 🤣 had to watch this again to make sure I caught everything... hilarious

If he's confused about Christmas, wait until you tell him about "Good" Friday!
thats Gerald
That show is so funny.
“Can I offer you I drink or water?”
*“Oh no thanks, I’m driving later.”*
Good thing he didn't offer him wine!😱
@@CaptChrispy lol
I love this. If this isn't a series, can it be one? Even if it has to be a short one. 🥺 🙏

Turns out the note was written by one of my colleagues to let me know that one of the maintenance men, Jesus, was looking for me. :)
Lmao!!! Too funny, and kinda sad if you think about it. Not the video lol our lives, and the things we do hahaha 😂😂😂
"You've been following me?" could be interpreted a few different ways.
Many didn't get that one.
He's going to be even more confused when the next place he goes, they're doing the same thing, yet are equally unaware of why.
The awkwardness is REAL😂🤣😂
Christmas sounds really stupid when you try to explain it xD
LMAO " did Paul put you up to this"
More likely it was Peter, you know how he was
Yeah, he rocks.
this is gold
thanks Em!!
Also frankincense and myrrh.
Very underrated video. This should have many more views.
Yes, absolutely!
Bahahahaha you guys are soooo good! Much love from Manitoba!
This video has become part of my Christmas tradition!
"Oh my god!"
'yes, exactly.'
😂😂😂
mostly Luke, but Matthew helped.
I love the water joke.
How did I not see this sooner... wow this is just genous, I am laughing so hard right now. This is brilliant.
I need to share this video EVERYWHERE!!! The genius comedy writing is unreal
I feel like this goes along excellent with the comedian Jim Gaffigan's stand-up about Christmas trees.
"Did Paul put you up to this?" 😂😂😂
That’s Ben Beauchemin from Kim’s Convenience!!!
I love that this now pops up every year for me- classic 🤣
This is the most underrated video on your channel.
LMAO!! What a scream!! Julie you are amazing.
"Jeeesus Christ"
"Yeah?"
The tree is left over from when we were all pagans. You know, time before we worshiped shopping, oh I mean you.
you cut out one of the best jokes.. my nephew Jesus
I watched this feeling so nervous all the way hoping there wouldn't be any blasphemy lol
Lol I’m a Christian and this was HILARIOUS !!! I love the end….*sneeze* God Bless You , “ oh this may take a while, ya might want to sit down “ 😅😂😅😂😅
My Jesus runs a leaf blower, but he's real!
"Did Paul put you up to this?" 😂
When you slap your reglion onto a pagan holiday so non of the traditions match up lol. Thanks pope julius.
‘I’m Jesus.”
“Oh my god”
“Yes”🤣🤣🤣
This should get more views! Under 100k and it's been 3 years. And this is hilarious.
-So you guys got each other presents for my birthday?
-Yeah...
-So you guys fill the socks, and then pretend Santa did it?
-Yes..
LOOL :)
Please, bring this up every year again so we can make it a christmas tradition 🙏!!
I missed this one, only YT recommended a short from last year and I only accidentally read the answer to a comment that lead me to this one. This is timeless and really needs to come up every year again 😁!!
"Oh my God...."
"Yes exactly."
I expected Santa in the fireplace mumbling he cannot get through the glass and climbing back up.
Just like the Weasleys. ;-)
3:20 Santa's a Clown.... Riiiiiiight! LOL!!!
This is awesome! I'm whippin this out next time I get conscripted to decorate. You're my heroes! 😂
I just realized how weird Christmas is like Halloween in Halloween you take candy from strangers
Oh! This just blew my mind! I laughed so hard 🤣🤣🤣
thanks for making Jesus have a birthday in may 15, it's my birthday too lol
"Hi, I'm Jesus!" That could be a T Shirt ... lol
Absolutely brilliant...BLASPHEMERS!!!
Seriously, I love this one...
This was too funny and way to real!!! 🤣😂🤣
Jesus would be so cool with anyone whoever the person was
Of course Jesus is a spring baby... 🤣
I clicked this expecting to get a laugh and instead I find out Santa isn't real... thanks for the warning.
They're just telling him this, so he isn't too confused. 😄
there is no prof he isnt!
Well if Jesus were here I'm sure he'd say - thank you for celebrating my birthday on the wrong day with gifts for yourselves and working in a bright red non-clown into the story.

My understanding of Thanksgiving is to celebrate the harvest?
This is really thought provoking
gonna take a while. you better sit down DAMNNN HAHAHA
LOL “oh god bless ok gonna take a while sit down”
Like water? No thanks, I'm driving. - That was genius.... and kind of an inside joke only. haha
-It's your birthday.
-No, it's not.
-Yes, it is.
-No, it's not.
-Also it's kind of weird to celebrate the birthday of a guy you JUST met.
-I can probably get a phone somewhere else.
-Yeah!
These say more than they intend. Hahahaha
A white Jesús? You been following??me ?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Well, THIS IS AWKWEERRD.
I just love this girl
I'm sure glad the title says "Funny!" -- I was worried there for a second!
Hahaha 🤣😂🤣😂 👍 Jesus is a bit confused 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Oh Gerald, what are you doing here wearing Jesus Costume eh? Have you seen Janet?
The Jesus actor is one of the characters from Kim’s Convenience!
Lol. This is even more funny for me because I am a missionary kid.
When you think about it, Christmas really doesn't make sense.
"Did Paul put you up to this?" 😄
I mean right? Hahaha! 👶🏼🎄
Whenever he say "not you" I cracked up
You need to revisit this - Jesus visits a lockdown Christmas after spending the last 2 years seeing what all the fuss was about, got all excited and ready to party and being turned away because the pandemic. 🤣🤣
He could even bring his dad because it's a family affair 😉
Love it! Too funny 😂😂😂
ah thanks for the brackets saying "funny!" i expected a really sad video
funny enough i had to do some christmas celebration kind of thing for my education as a children educator xD
Well when you say it all like this.....LOL
HYSTERICAL! LMAO!!!!
Happy Birthday Jesus!
