Why is JESUS better than Santa Claus?

Found this in the Lectio Divina December '08 issue. Really amusing and touching!!
"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.
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 you name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or little girl, what's your name?"... JESUS knows everybody's name. Not only does He know our names, He also knows our address. He knows our history and future and even the number of hairs 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.
While 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 you tree... JESUS becomes your gift when he died on the tree.



Nice right?? Makes Santa sound so bad now. Lol.
I know it's a little early for Christmas.. But it's never too early for JESUS! XD
