Why Jesus is Better than Santa Claus

Santa lives at the North Pole.
JESUS is everywhere.

Santa rides in a sleigh.
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.

Santa comes but once a year.
JESUS is our ever present help.

Santa fills your stockings with goodies.
JESUS supplies all your needs.

Santa comes down your chimney uninvited.
JESUS stands at your door and knocks,
and then enters your heart when invited.

You have to wait in line to see Santa.
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.

Santa lets you sit on his lap.
JESUS lets you rest in His arms.

Santa doesn't know your name,
all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl,
what's your name?"

JESUS knew our name even before we were born.
Not only does He know our name,
He knows our address too.
He knows our history and future.
He even knows how many hairs are on our heads.

Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly.
JESUS has a heart full of love.

All Santa can offer is "HO HO HO"
JESUS offers health, help and "hope."

Santa says "You better not cry".
JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you."

Santa may make you chuckle.
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.

While Santa puts gifts under your tree.
JESUS became our gift and He died on a tree.. The cross!

We need to put Christ back in CHRISTmas!
Jesus is still the Reason for the Season.

May you have a Blessed Celebration of Jesus' Birth!!

For God so loved the world,
that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish,
but have everlasting life.

John 3:16
