“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6

Is Jesus Better than Santa?
by Shannon Pederson
Santa Claus is a wonderful fellow. He makes children of all ages happy, he’s constantly jolly, and he keeps a lot of elves employed all year long. Yet, when it comes to picking favorites, he just doesn’t compare to Jesus. Here are a number of reasons why Jesus is better than Santa.
Santa lives at the North Pole in Alaska. Jesus is everywhere. It doesn’t take an airline ticket or long cruise to be with him.
Santa rides in a sleigh. Jesus rides on the wind and walks on the water. This means Jesus can be anywhere and everywhere faster than anyone.
Santa comes but once a year. Jesus is an ever present help. He’s with us every minute of every day.
Santa fills your stockings with goodies. Jesus supplies all our needs. A lot of things Jesus delivers can’t be made in Santa’s workshop.
Santa comes down your chimney uninvited. Jesus stands at your door and knocks, and then enters your heart when invited. He’s doesn’t leave a trail of soot either.
You have to wait in line to see Santa. Jesus is as close as the mention of His name. Just ask and he’ll be there.
Santa lets you sit on his lap. Jesus lets you rest in His arms. Those arms hug you with His warm and love.
Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, what's your name?" Jesus knew our names before we were born. 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.
All Santa can offer is HO HO HO. Jesus offers health, help, and hope. Jesus also has a heart full of love that’s yours for the taking.
Santa says "You better not cry." Jesus says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you." With Jesus, tears are OK because he understands our pain and heals us.
Santa's little elves 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. The joy from Jesus lasts forever.
While Santa puts gifts under your tree Jesus became our gift and died on a tree made into a cross.
Jesus is truly the reason for the season.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
