Jesus is the Reason for the Season



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 chimney uninvited
Jesus stands at your door and knocks ... and then enters your heart

You have to stand 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 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 troubles & worries on me"

Santa's little helpers make toys
Jesus makes new life, mends wounded hearts and repairs broken homes

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

While Santa puts gifts under your tree
Jesus became our gift and died on the cross

It's obvious there is really no comparison

We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about
We need to put Christ in right place during Christmas

May the Lord bless and watch over you and your loved ones this Christmas.

Rightly said! Commercialism has spoilt the true meaning of Christmas. Christ is the superstar, not Santa!

Blessed Christmas dear! Peace be with you! ^_^
