"Books are the perfect entertainment: no commercials, no batteries, hours of enjoyment for every dollar spent. What I wonder is why everybody doesn't carry a book around for those inevitable dead spots in life."~~~Stephen King

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 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 your 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"
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"
JESUS offers health, help, and hope

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

Santa's little 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 your tree
JESUS became our gift and died on a tree

Is's obvious there is really no comparison. We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about. We needed to put Christ back in CHRISTmas. Jesus is still the reason for the season. Yes, Jesus is better. He is even better than Santa Claus.
