Why Jesus is better than Santa Claus

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 stocking with goodies ...
JESUS supplies all your needs!

Santa comes down your chimney uninvited ...
JESUS stands at your door and knocks .

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 ...
JESUS offers healing, hope, and happiness!

Santa says, "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!

It's obvious there is really no comparison!
We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about!
We need to put CHRIST back in Christmas!

Yes, JESUS is better!!!
He is infinitely better than Santa Claus or anyone or anything else!

Santa Claus has never sent any dorky missionaries to my door to whine at me about how I should believe what they do or I'm going to hell.....

yes, lets remember what Christmas is all about
the christian reworking of a pagan holiday

I think it was an innocent post, drunkenmonk and sinjin, and was just an injection of thought relating to Christmas cheer. If you know TallPaul it was not directed at anyone for harm.

However - it is in the Pen, huh? The place for it....?

I guess now you'll want me to stop going to the drug store, and writing obscene things in all the Xmas cards.

I think I better explain before I lose face here:

My oldest son, when he was three, said that Mary made Joseph take her to Bethlehem because Mary was gonna ride his *** until he did.

It was innocent enough, but I laughed until I cried.

...wonder where he heard that? Huh?
