Even though Christmas is supposed to be a time to gather together loved ones and celebrate the season with beloved traditions, it can end up being overrun with loud commercialism.
A U.K. man, named Phil Beastall, decided a few years ago to honor the heart of Christmas with a video that cost less than $70 to make.
Beastall also shared his powerful video on Twitter. People connected strongly to the video’s raw emotion.
