December is upon us... and the Christmas season is in full swing! Christmas day will be here before we know it! As you prepare for and reflect on Christmas this year here is something I received several years ago in an email. I share it with you as a reminder of what this season is really all about.

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 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 in his lap...JESUS lets you rest in His arms!

Santa doesn't know your name and has to check his list to check up on you...JESUS knows our name, our history and our future. He even knows how many hairs you have on your head!

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, hope and eternal life!

Santa says, "You better not cry"...JESUS says, "Cast all your cares on Me for I care for you!"

Santa may make you chuckle...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!

Keep Christ in Christmas as you journey through this Christmas season...HE IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!

"When the time had fully come, God sent HIs Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive the full rights of sons..." Galatians 4:4

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
