Merry Christmas

As posted in our local paper in a sell ad:
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 an ever present help.


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

Santa comes down your chinmey 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 before we did. Not only does He know our name, he knows our address too. He knows our history and future and 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...
JUesus offers health, help and hope.

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

Santa's litte helpers make toys...
JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts,
repairs broken homes and builds mansions.

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


While Santa puts gifts under the tree...
JESUS became our gift and died on a tree.

It's obvious there is really NO comparisons.  We
need to remember WHO put Christ back into CHRISTmas,
JESUS is still the reason for the season!

Yes, Jesus is better, He is even better than Santa Claus.
