Christ vs Claus
6 Reasons why we should make Jesus not Santa
centre-stage at Christmas
- Santa brings gifts to those who have been good; Jesus came to call not the righteous but sinners to repentance
- Santa comes once a year; Jesus is with us always, even to the end of the age
- Santa gives material gifts that do not last; Jesus gives us eternal life
- Santa rides on a sleigh pulled by reindeers; Jesus carried his own cross to Calvary
- Santa is a myth; Jesus is a real figure from history
- Santa's most famous words are "Ho Ho Ho"; Jesus gave us the Sermon on the Mount
