Perfect for church or Christian school functions, this creative allegory unwraps the true meaning of the season — it’s not about all the gifts, but about God’s gift to mankind. Bob’s Christmas Emporium is preparing for December 26, the biggest day of the year for returns, typified by crowds, long lines, and unhappy customers. While security guard Ole Knight tests his new disguise kit on a few customers, Noelle tests Bob’s patience with her unconventional appearance, exuberant personality, and knack for saying just the wrong thing for the right reasons. Then there are the customers’ unusual complaints: someone wants to return the 10 pounds she gained over Christmas, another wants to fire Santa for giving him underwear in his stocking, one wants a new family, and another has broken out in a Christmas-induced rash! What’s a sales clerk to do? When Bob confronts Noelle for suggesting that a customer shop elsewhere, Noelle challenges him to consider whether there’s more to Christmas than what sells in his store. After a bewildering and exhausting day, Bob encounters Mary, the owner of The Meaning of Christmas Store across the street, who claims to never have dissatisfied customers. Intrigued by her marketing strategy of offering a free gift to all customers, he enters her store and discovers for himself that God’s gift doesn’t come in a box.
