Why is Jesus better than Santa Claus?

Why is Jesus 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 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 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.
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 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....The cross.

Put Christ Back In Christmas...Jesus Is Still 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

Christmas Wreaths - The Tradition

Some people hang wreathes year round, with flower wreathes marking the coming of spring and circles of dried bittersweet ringing in the fall. But at Christmas, the wreath comes into its glory, adorning the grand entrances of great houses and the modest doors of city apartments. The tradition is centuries old, but every holiday season it renews itself.Most wreathes are circular, and the circle has long been symbolic of the unbroken span of eternity, as well as the circular nature of life itself. Used in mid December at the time of the Winter Solstice, the circle symbolizes the certainty that the endless cycle of seasons will once again bring the return of light.

Some Christians use Advent wreathes to commemorate the meaning of Christmas. These wreathes, usually made of evergreens, are placed on a table or other horizontal surface. Four candles are affixed to the greenery to represent the four weeks of Advent, the season leading up to Christmas. Each week at a specific time family members say prayers and light an additional candle until all are alight just before Christmas.
The vast majority of Christmas wreathes are hung on doors, windows or walls, indoors and out. Traditional wreath greens include various types of fir, pine, holly, boxwood and even magnolia leaves. Modern wreathes may be made of a variety of materials for contrasts in color, texture and fragrance.Whatever the decorations, wreathes are the perfect symbol of the personal, spiritual, traditional, contemporary and, above all, festive spirit of the holidays.
