Forget all other Christmas ads. This unassuming Mormon offering might just have won the internet.

The religious group’s heartfelt message is a reminder that Christmas is not all about bows, trimmings and all the other things people get caught up in at this time of year.

The official synopsis on mormon.org reads: ‘The first gift of Christmas was a simple gift given by a father to all his children, to us. He gave us His son, the Christ. He is the gift. This Christmas season, how will you share the gift?’
