I BELIEVE IN SANTA CLAUS

AUTHOR: DIANE G. ADAMSON


I BELIEVE IN SANTA CLAUS
IMAGINE SANTA.
WHAT IS HE LIKE?
HE WEARS RED.
HIS HAIR IS WHITE.
HE COMES IN THE NIGHT.
HE LOVES LITTLE CHILDREN.
HE WANTS US TO BE GOOD.
AND HE BRINGS GIFTS.
NOW IMAGINE JESUS.
WHAT IS HE LIKE?
HE WEARS RED.
HIS HAIR IS WHITE.
HE COMES IN THE NIGHT.
HE LOVES LITTLE CHILDREN.
HE KNOWS WE ARE GOOD.
AND HE BRINGS GIFTS.
SANTA CLAUS IS A SYMBOL OF CHRISTMAS.
THE SYMBOLS OF CHRISTMAS CAN REMIND US OF THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS.
THE SYMBOLS OF CHRISTMAS REMIND ME OF CHRIST.
SO, I BELIEVE IN SANTA CLAUS.
SYMBOLS:
WREATH: Eternal Love, no beginning, no end. Love comes full circle.
CANDLE: The light of Christ, our own inner light.
GIFTS: Giving, sharing, thinking of others.
BOW: Tied in the bonds of brotherly love.
BELL: Rings to bring lost sheep home.
TREE: The evergreen of everlasting life, pointing heavenward.
CANDY CANE: Shepherd's crook for bringing lambs back to the fold.
RED: The Saviors sacrifice for all.
STAR: The Bethlehem star, a sign of prophecy, the light of the world.
SANTA CLAUS: The spirit of Christmas, giving and receiving love, caring, sharing, kindness, cheerfulness, happiness, peace. good will to all, Christlike living.
From Santa we learn to give and receive. From Jesus we learn to love and be loved.
We love Him, because He first loved us.
(1 John 4:19)
MERRY CHRISTMAS
