Why Jesus is Better than Santa...

(I saw this posted at my daughter's pre-school. I really liked it so I thought I'd post it here.)

Santa lives at the North Pole but Jesus is everywhere.

Santa rides in a sleigh but Jesus rides on the wind and walks on the water.

Santa comes once a year but Jesus is ever present help.

Santa fills your stocking with goodies but Jesus supplies ALL your needs.

Santa comes down the chimney uninvited but Jesus stands at your door and knocks, and then enters your heart when invited.

You have to wait in line to see Santa but Jesus is as close as the mention of His name.

Santa lets you sit on his lap but 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?" but Jesus knew your 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 but Jesus has a heart full of love.

Santa says, "You better not cry" but Jesus says, "Cast all your cares on me, for I care for you."

Santa's litte helpers make toys but 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.
