It’s Not About Santa Claus, It’s All About Jesus
Christmas is the season that we celebrate our amazing Savior’s miraculous birth! Jesus Christ came to this world to save us from our sins. His life was spectacular, from his conception to his resurrection. The purpose of his life was to redeem us from our sins, and for that we can only be grateful.
Therefore, we should not let ourselves be distracted with society’s version of Christmas, which is dedicated to honoring the fictitious “Santa Claus”. It is absolutely fine to share gifts at Christmas time and decorate your home with lights and a Christmas tree. These things help to spread happiness and joy, but making Christmas about Santa Claus and his elves takes the focus of off Christ and that is what Christmas is truly about. Take a look at the true facts about Jesus and 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.”

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.
Do not forget what the true reason for the season is… It’s not about Santa Claus, It’s all about our blessed Savior, Jesus Christ.
