Criteria

I have compiled an extensive collection of great videos, perfect for Christmas church services. This isn't just another 'ultimate list'. To be included in this list, the videos need to meet the following criteria:

  • Clearly communicate the truth.
  • Be high quality (no cringe).
  • Not be too 'northern hemisphere' (for people who don't have snow at Christmas!).
