<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZhvcHppxT5A/SVBpOfU5wOI/AAAAAAAAAVw/YTSg-BZGJQA/s1600-h/untitled.bmp"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282838060553847010" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZhvcHppxT5A/SVBpOfU5wOI/AAAAAAAAAVw/YTSg-BZGJQA/s320/untitled.bmp" style="display: block; height: 183px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: medium;"><u><b>Jesus is Better than Santa</b></u></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: lime;">Santa lives at the North Pole. <br />
JESUS is everywhere. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">Santa rides in a sleigh <br />
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: lime;">Santa comes but once a year <br />
JESUS is an ever present help. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">Santa fills your stockings with goodies <br />
JESUS supplies all your needs. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: lime;">Santa comes down your chimney uninvited <br />
JESUS stands at your door and knocks... And then enters your heart. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">You have to stand in line to see Santa <br />
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: lime;">Santa lets you sit on his lap <br />
JESUS lets you rest in His arms. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: lime;"><br />
</span><span style="color: red;">Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, What's your name?" <br />
JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too. <br />
He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: lime;">Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly <br />
JESUS has a heart full of love. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">All Santa can offer is HO HO HO <br />
JESUS offers health, help and hope. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: lime;">Santa says "You better not cry" <br />
JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">Santa's little helpers make toys <br />
JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: lime;">Santa may make you chuckle but <br />
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength. <br />
</span><span style="color: red;">While Santa puts gifts under your tree <br />
JESUS became our gift and died on the tree. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: lime;">It's obvious there is really no comparison. <br />
We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about. <br />
We need to put Christ back in Christmas. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: medium;"><u>Jesus is still the reason for the season. </u></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: medium;">May
the Lord Bless and Watch over you and your loved ones this Christmas
2013 And may He prosper and bless the work of your hands In the New
Year!</span></div>
