He wrote and recorded it for VeggieTales with its new DVD release, “Saint Nicholas–A Story of Joyful Giving.”[8] The campaign brings attention to the types of ways we can reach out to those in need around us. West explains,“What it means to me to ‘give this Christmas away’ is to pause long enough to look at the world from a perspective of ‘How can I help? How can I give? How can God use me to help meet the needs of somebody else this Christmas instead of just checking off the list of everything I want?'”[9] A book, "Give This Christmas Away (101 simple & thoughtful ways to . . .)", was inspired by the song's release, published by Tyndale Publishers.[10] Music videoThe music video for the single "Give This Christmas Away" was released on October 6, 2009.[11][12] The visual features West and Grant performing the song with scenes of children receiving gifts appear throughout.
