I grew up watching this, along with many other Christmas specials, recorded onto a janky old VHS tape. The tape is long gone, but God bless KZitem and other streaming services that allow it to remain a part of my holiday traditions!

I watched this every year for most of my childhood, and I distinctly remember the verse about myrrh being in it, so I think they for whatever reason cut it out of this video. Also, there are three kings, and they all sing the first verse, so it makes logical sense that each would have a second verse.

It's not too dark for children; It's literally the gospel. It's the most important part. Why glaze over what Good Friday and Easter are supposed to be? It is just all leading to the cross and the resurrection.

Tradition has the Wise Men [The Bible never gave an amount. Jericho was a wicked, wicked city. Three men carrying valuables would never make it through. This is a prime example of 'Safety in Numbers'.] visiting Jesus in the manger. This is another tradition that is wrong. Matthew 2:11 says that Jesus was in a house. We are not told whose house, or how Mary, Joseph & Jesus got the house.

Yes, all the Nativity scenes have the Wise men in it, but that's inaccurate. Jesus could have been as much as a year or two old by the time they arrived.

They should have mentioned the myrrh part of the song predicting the crucifixion and included Herod slaughtering the two year olds to try to kill Christ out of fear of being usurped by the Messiah after the wise men mentioned to him their quest of following the star. And, Mary and Joseph fleeing to Egypt with toddler Jesus to avoid Herod's men and using the wealth of the wise men's gifts to survive in exile. Then, we could have really gotten into the scary parts.

Hell, they could have included the angels talking to the shepherds or warning Mary and Joseph of Herod in their biblically accurate forms, and we could keep reminding ourselves to "be not afraid".
