Santa fills your stockings with goodies...JESUS supplies all of your needs. Santa comes down your chimney uninvited...JESUS stands at the door of your heart and knocks and enters when you say, "Come in. 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 little girl"...JESUS knew our name before we did. Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly...JESUS has a heart full of love. All Santa can do 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 broken wounded hearts, repairs broken homes, and builds mansions in heaven. Santa may make you laugh...But JESUS gives you everlasting joy. Santa puts gifts under your tree...JESUS became our gift and died on a tree.
