![Christmas Story Animation in Less than 3 Minutes! [Video]](https://churchm.ag/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/christmasstoryanimation250.png)
Last year I posted about the Christmas Story Animation I’ve made for my Christmas website. This year I’ve made some tweaks to it but also made a condensed version into a video!
I got the inspiration to make the video for The Nativity Factor, a video competition, running during December 2013 by one of the big TV channels in the UK, to tell the Nativity story in less than three minutes.
It was really fun – but quite challenging – to edit down and screen cap into ‘The Very Fast (and fairly accurate) Christmas Story Animation’!

Nobody read the Bible…in the Bible you dont find Jesus birth was in a place with animals.
Well, actually you do! Why else would Jesus have been laid to rest in a manger (a feeding trough for cattle – Luke 2:7 & 12)?
I don’t say that Jesus was born in a ‘stable’, He was more like you have been in a house. In those times, people often slept in an upper level of a house (including the ‘guest room/area’ – which is probably the correct meaning of the often used translation of ‘inn’) and the animals lived beneath and were used as a form of heating!
Mangers were often stone troughs cut into the wall. So if the holy family were staying in the lower area of a family member’s house (with the animals!), they used the manger as a make-shift bed.
So yes, although the Bible doesn’t specifically mention animals, ALL the research I’ve done (which is a lot!) says that it’s very strongly inferred that he was born with animals and any contemporary person of the time would have assumed so from the Biblical text!
Don’t mess with James when it comes to Christmas. 😛
Beautiful work James!
Thanks Gangai 🙂
Thanks James for why Christmas. I am using it in Cornwall now and have recommended it to the whole staff here. Well done and keep up the good work (and the ukulele playing). Love Jane x
