\nSanta fills your stockings with goodies \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 – JESUS supplies all your needs.
\nSanta comes down your chimney uninvited – JESUS stands at your door and knocks.. and then enters your heart.
\nYou have to stand in line to see Santa \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 – JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.
\nSanta lets you sit on his lap \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 – JESUS lets you rest in His arms.
\nSanta doesn’t know your name, all he can say is “Hi little boy or girl, What’s your name?”
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly \u00a0 – JESUS has a heart full of love.
\nAll Santa can offer is HO HO HO\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0– JESUS offers health, help and hope.
\nSanta says “You better not cry” \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 – JESUS says “Cast all your cares on me for I care for you.
\nSanta’s little helpers make toys \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 – JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions.
\nSanta may make you chuckle but \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 – JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.
\nWhile Santa puts gifts under your tree \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 – JESUS became our gift and died on the tree.<\/p>\n

It’s obvious there is really no comparison.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about.
\nWe need to put Christ back in Christmas.
\nJesus is still the reason for the season.\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
