Storyline

A heart warming tale of four children trying to decide which to cheer for: Jesus, or Santa. It almost makes one wonder what Brian Boitano would do in this situation. In the end, though, they decide that Christmas isn't a time for settling old scores, Christmas is about one thing: presents. Written by Austin Williams <sporks5000@hotmail.com>

Very funny
16 April 2001 | by (South Park Colorado) – See all my reviews

This is the funniest short film I've ever seen! It's about 4 boys who meet Jesus and he asks them where the mall is. Jesus and Santa meet face to face and fight to settle what the real meaning of christmas is. Meanwhile, the boys watch and wonder what some Brian guy would do. This film is very funny. The 1991 verson pretty much sucked. This short is very funny, and I think any one who likes South Park, should watch it.

I give it an A+ (a perfect 10)
