1. It would probably creep my kids out.
2. It definitely communicates that Jesus is an end to greater gifts (Jesus of consumerism).
3. It assumes that children would be asking for appropriate gifts.
4. It could point to the fact that Jesus can give any gift, material or immaterial, the greatest of all being himself.
5. It could communicate that we can receive gifts by asking Jesus, a very biblical idea.
6. It could communicate Jesus as the agent of creation, through whom all Christmas gifts have thier existence.
I would possibly let my kids do it, if they weren’t creeped out, and have a great discussion with them about it afterwards, especially if they are kinetic learners. Christology 101.
