Very cute! :-)
The Easter Bunny is, of course, the Paas Haas (
I was told the story of Santa Claus— and permitted to watch the various depiction of his life and work on television.
I was told the story of Paul Bunyan.
I was told the story of David and Goliath.
I was told the story of Superman.
I believed one of these stories, because when my parent told me them , they told me which was true and which were not.
Santa Claus, and what he represents, is a part of our western, Christian culture. He is, at the origin of the legend, a Christian figure who himself would worship the Christ.
Show me one— just one— “’Christian’ [who] would seek to exalt Santa above the reality of Christ’s Person and birth...” just one— never mind the “many” you claim. Name, address, phone, etc. Photos if available.
Just to be clear, I am not offended by your ill-treatment of the Santa legend— but by your ill-treatment of the truth, and the hyperbole of saying that all “objective” believers of “Christmas reality” would have no trouble with your self-righteousness.
You put Christ first! and that is what the post was all about! St. Nick was a dear man...
Wow! they made the nauty list..lol
lol... that’s all right I’ll heat my house with it!
I fully agree with your first statement. With out the birth of Christ though (John 1:14) there would be no resurrection.. It’s a time to remeber that God sent (gave)His Son for all John 3:16-17. Salvation was our greatest need and God’s greatest gift!
Do you know how many gospel Christmas tracts I have handed out and opportunities the Lord has given me to share the Gospel of Christ. tons.... You have to know how to fish my friend... not lock your self up in a legalistic closet.
LOL...
Hey Jimmy... heard you today on Jimmy V.!
Merry christmas my brother!
Wow! that’s a funny pic!... Go Jesus!
We are not asking you to ...just exalt Christ to them. that is the true message that all children need to hear (John 3:16). that is all we are saying!
We are not asking you to through out santa or hol;iday music etc.. I love the holiday music.....just exalt Christ to them. that is the reality and true message that all children need to hear at Christmas(John 3:16). that is all we are saying!
Merry Christmas!
Jesus is the reason for the season. Anything else is superfluous.
