  All right, it's almost Christmas.
• 0:08
  I love Christmas, man. Everybody loves Christmas.
• 0:13
  Even fish love Christmas. What?
• 0:15
  How do fish celebrate Christmas? Do you give presents to each
• 0:18
  other? We just thank God for sending
• 0:20
  His Son to bring peace between US and God.
• 0:23
  Jesus was the peacemaker. That's our word for today.
• 0:26
  Paco Peacemaker. My Aunt Willita has a pacemaker.
• 0:30
  It keeps her heart beating. Not pacemaker.
• 0:34
  Peacemaker. Why don't you tell us the
• 0:36
  Christmas story and I'll explain what a peacemaker is.
• 0:40
  OK, it was the night before Christmas and all through the
• 0:43
  chante. Not that Christmas story.
• 0:45
  Tell the story about Mary and the Angel Gabriel.
• 0:48
  You mean Gabriel? Whatever.
• 0:50
  OK so one day La Mary is just minding her business when all of
• 0:54
  a sudden Gabriel pops into our room man and he says to La Mary.
• 0:57
  He goes, Hey, God likes you, Mary and La, Mary says.
• 1:01
  Mary didn't scream. Yes, she did.
• 1:04
  Why do you think? Gabriel said.
• 1:05
  Hey, Mary, don't be afraid. That's like saying quit.
• 1:08
  You're screaming, you know. All right, you win.
• 1:11
  So then Gabriel says to Mary, Hey, hey, Mary, you're going to
• 1:15
  have a baby. It's a boy, by the way.
• 1:17
  Name him Jesus for me and he's going to be a ray.
• 1:20
  Not Ray Jesus. I Raymond's king anyways, so La
• 1:26
  Mary says, hey, are you crazy, Gabriel?
• 1:28
  I can't have a baby. I don't know any guys you know.
• 1:32
  You mean she wasn't married? No, I mean, she didn't know any
• 1:35
  guys. It's in the Bible.
• 1:37
  So then Gabriel says it's OK, the Holy Spirit's want to make a
• 1:40
  shadow on you so you don't get hot from the sun.
• 1:42
  No, no, no, the Bible says the power of God the Holy Spirit
• 1:47
  would over shadow her, which means he was going to do a
• 1:51
  miracle in her body so that Jesus could live inside of her
• 1:54
  until time to be born. But do you know the most
• 1:57
  important part of the story? What?
• 2:00
  Mary said yes to God. Wait.
• 2:03
  You mean she could have said no God, I don't want to be the
• 2:06
  mother of Jesus. She could have, but she said yes
• 2:10
  to God, and right then, just like John 114 says, and the Word
• 2:15
  became flesh. The Son of God was on his way to
• 2:18
  being the peacemaker that the world needed.
• 2:21
  So what's a peacemaker? You said you were going to
• 2:23
  explain it, man. God sent Jesus to the world so
• 2:27
  that Jesus could live inside everyone.
• 2:30
  All we have to do is say yes to God by asking Jesus to live
• 2:34
  inside of us. Does that mean I'm going to have
• 2:36
  a baby if I say yes? No, you won't have a baby.
• 2:40
  You become a baby. I forget that, man, I don't want
• 2:44
  to be a baby. Not a baby baby.
• 2:47
  You become God's child. You're the miracle.
• 2:51
  So Jesus becomes our personal pacemaker.
• 2:56
  You mean peacemaker? No, I mean pacemaker man.
• 3:00
  He keeps our heart beating for God orally.
• 3:14
  Hey fish, have you seen where my Christmas presents are hit?
• 3:17
  What Christmas presents? You know, the ones that my
• 3:20
  parents put under the tree at the last minute, so I can't
• 3:23
  guess what they are, those presents.
• 3:26
  How am I supposed to know where they're hidden?
• 3:29
  You're home all day. I'm home all day stuck in this
• 3:32
  fishbowl. Oh yeah?
• 3:35
  Well, hey, maybe you'll get a new fish bowl for Christmas.
• 3:38
  Did you get me a new bowl? Are you crazy?
• 3:40
  I'm not spending no money on no fish.
• 3:43
  Well, can you tell us another Christmas story?
• 3:47
  It was the night before Christmas and all through the
• 3:49
  chante. Not that one.
• 3:52
  Tell us about the night Jesus was born.
• 3:55
  Oh, you mean it was the night before Christmas and all through
• 3:57
  the stable, that one? Yeah, I guess so.
• 4:01
  OK, so it was almost time for the baby Jesus to be born and
• 4:05
  Joseph says he's like, maybe we should go to Bethlehem now.
• 4:08
  Census almost time for the baby to be born, No?
• 4:12
  Joseph and Mary had to go to Bethlehem because of the census.
• 4:17
  That means they had to be counted in their hometown.
• 4:20
  Oh, what did I say? Never mind.
• 4:24
  Anyways, so when they get to Bethlehem, Mary says to Joseph,
• 4:29
  I'm thinking I want to have the baby tonight.
• 4:32
  And Joseph says I can't you wait till tomorrow?
• 4:34
  It'll be Christmas, no? Christmas is the day we
• 4:38
  celebrate Jesus birth. I know perola.
• 4:41
  Mary wanted to have it the night before on Christmas Eve.
• 4:44
  So Joseph says, OK, well, the end is full right now.
• 4:47
  And I think it's the name of the hospital in Bethlehem anyway, so
• 4:51
  Mary says let's have the baby in the barn with the animals.
• 4:54
  It'll be the world's first petting zoo.
• 4:57
  No, that's not. Never mind.
• 5:01
  Yeah, and so the baby came out and Mary wrapped him in a swirly
• 5:05
  blanket. What's a swirly blanket?
• 5:09
  You know, a baby blanket with the colors all swirly.
• 5:12
  It was a swaddling cloth. Oh yeah man, the swirly blanket.
• 5:16
  It makes it easier for the kids to understand.
• 5:19
  Keep going. OK, yeah, well, while they were
• 5:21
  playing with the baby Jesus, these angels are so happy they
• 5:25
  decide to wake up the shepherds and tell them the good news.
• 5:28
  And so they did. And the angels start like
• 5:30
  rapping to the shepherds. Glory to God in the highest
• 5:36
  peace on earth. Goodwill to men.
• 5:40
  That's the mercy of God. No, I was the angels, I'm pretty
• 5:44
  sure. Yeah, it was the angels telling
• 5:46
  the shepherds about the mercy of God, John 316 says.
• 5:51
  For God so loved the world, he gave his only Son.
• 5:55
  God was merciful to the world. That's our word for the day.
• 5:59
  Merciful. What does that mean?
• 6:02
  Merciful means you decide to be nice to someone who doesn't
• 6:06
  deserve it. So he's like, I'm showing you
• 6:09
  mercy fool. Like when my sister gets into my
• 6:12
  stuff and I don't beat her up like that, right?
• 6:15
  Mercy fool. Kind of, but instead of not
• 6:19
  beating her up, you do something nice.
• 6:22
  God was merciful to us because he sent Jesus to take away our
• 6:26
  sins so we could become his children.
• 6:29
  That's why we celebrate Christmas.
• 6:31
  Jesus is the best gift ever. You know what else would be
• 6:35
  nice? A new bike.
• 6:45
  OK, so one time there were these wise men, only they weren't that
• 6:48
  wise because they had to stop and ask for directions.
• 6:51
  They were following a star to where Jesus was.
• 6:54
  God put a special star in the sky as a sign that Jesus had
• 6:58
  been born. It took the wise men about two
• 7:01
  years to get to Jerusalem, where they finally asked for
• 7:03
  directions. Who's telling the story, me or
• 7:07
  you, man? So anyway, they were following
• 7:11
  the star until it got all cloudy one night, and then they
• 7:13
  couldn't see the star no more. So they thought, well, if
• 7:16
  anybody would know about a new king being born, it would be
• 7:19
  another king. You know, it takes one to know
• 7:22
  1. So they asked this king in
• 7:24
  Jerusalem, I think his name was Harold.
• 7:26
  Harold. Yeah.
• 7:27
  I knew a kid named Harold. Everybody called him Harry.
• 7:30
  Anyways, King Harry said I don't know about another king being
• 7:33
  born. Let me ask my homeboys.
• 7:35
  So we asked him and they told him we remember seeing
• 7:37
  something, that he was born in Bethlehem, probably on
• 7:40
  Instagram. They didn't have Instagram back
• 7:42
  then. What am I thinking?
• 7:44
  It was Facebook or maybe Myspace.
• 7:47
  So King Harry tells the wise men to check out Bethlehem and let
• 7:50
  him know if they find him so he could come check him out too.
• 7:53
  I guess he was too busy to go with them so when they got to
• 7:55
  Bethlehem they saw the star again and they went straight to
• 7:58
  Jesus House and crashed the party.
• 8:00
  Crashed the party. Yeah, think about it.
• 8:03
  There's no way they had an invitation.
• 8:05
  They lived two years away, man. But they gave him some birthday
• 8:08
  gifts. Goldman.
• 8:09
  That's what I like. Had some pennies from a dude
• 8:11
  named Frank. Not cool, man.
• 8:13
  And more. It was gold frankincense.
• 8:18
  Yeah, that's what I said. Never mind.
• 8:21
  So when the party was over they were like a king.
• 8:23
  Harry should have come, let's go tell him he missed the party.
• 8:26
  But then an Angel came and said don't tell Harry it's his fault
• 8:29
  for being too lazy to come in the 1st place.
• 8:31
  So they just went home, like for the next two years?
• 8:35
  Those wise men really love God, Paco Mark 1230 says.
• 8:39
  Love God with all your heart, your mind, and your strength.
• 8:42
  When we love God, we are willing to obey Him.
• 8:46
  Willing is our word for today. Ah.
• 8:48
  Man, Willie is the word. How did he get to be the word?
• 8:52
  And man, why can't I be the word?
• 8:54
  Paco, I want to be the word for today.
• 8:57
  Oh, come on, fish, don't you love me?
• 9:00
  I thought we were homeboys, man. Hey, if you love me, you would
• 9:03
  do what I say, right? I want to be the word for the
• 9:06
  day. What am I saying?
• 9:07
  I want to be the word everyday. Taco or Taco.
• 9:10
  Hey, man, that's a good word. Taco.
• 9:16
  OK, so Jesus came to be our white flag.
• 9:19
  What flag? Not what flag?
• 9:22
  White flag. You know, like I surrender.
• 9:25
  I don't want to fight no more. Let's just get along and be
• 9:27
  nice. Maybe it's because I'm a fish,
• 9:29
  but I have no idea what you're talking about.
• 9:33
  OK, you listen to me. When Jesus was a baby, Mary and
• 9:38
  Joseph took him to church and everybody was like, oh, let me
• 9:41
  see your baby. He's so cute, you know?
• 9:44
  OK, so far I'm following you. All right, but this one old man
• 9:48
  Simone, when he sees Jesus, he's like Mamma Mia.
• 9:52
  I have seen the one who will save the people from their sins.
• 9:56
  How did that guy know Jesus was the savior?
• 10:00
  Right, so I think God must have told him or something.
• 10:03
  Right. Or Joseph was wearing AT shirt
• 10:06
  that says my boy can beat up the devil.
• 10:08
  I don't think so. And this old lady Anna, well,
• 10:11
  she's got a really big mouth. You know what?
• 10:14
  Because she starts telling everybody about Jesus and his
• 10:17
  white diaper. I think you mean white flag.
• 10:22
  What did I say? You said diaper.
• 10:24
  Why would I say diaper man? Yeah, anyway, I get it now.
• 10:29
  The word for today makes sense. What's the word for today?
• 10:32
  The word for today is peace. That don't make no sense.
• 10:37
  It makes perfect sense. Don't you know what peace is?
• 10:41
  I know what peace is. Really use it in a sentence.
• 10:46
  After the battle of the Alamo General Santana walked around
• 10:49
  looking and then he drops to one knee and he says at last I have
• 10:53
  found some peace. Does anyone have a can opener?
• 10:57
  Wait, what? No, I can peace.
• 11:01
  The word for today is peace. Peace.
• 11:04
  Oh well then the general says to his men.
• 11:07
  He says I would really like a piece of cake right now.
• 11:10
  No, not peace like a piece of cake.
• 11:14
  Peace like God is always with you and he's not mad at you.
• 11:18
  That kind of peace. Really.
• 11:21
  Oh, I messed that up man.
