Santa and Jesus



I saw this on Tangle - a Christian site and thought it was a good way of explaining Christmas vs Jesus for our kids or grand kids.

Hope you enjoy.

Today is Emily Dickinson's birthday - what a gal! She wrote with passion and beauty, capturing the essence of the heart.

"Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the souls. And sings the tune without the words. and never stops at all."

"In this short Life that only lasts an hour. How much - how little - is within our power"

Emily - she did write from the heart - very thought-filled lines with every finger-stroke of her pen....And, your funnies today - making snow babies - the best!

Our fam has always told the Santa story as a fairy tale just to separate the fact that Jesus is real. Your X-rated snowmen cracked me up...heeeheeehee. I'm cryin' here.

You have yourself one terrifically bless day!!

So that's how snow babies are made! I often wondered how that happened! hehehe

I watched the video and it was great! I forwarded it to my Pastor. He will get a kick out of it too!

loved the snowmen comic, hilarious!!!! I'll come back and watch the video when I have a bit more time, but I'm glad someone took the time to make one to help explain Santa to kids, etc. We didn't do much with Santa when the kids were growing up so they didn't have their "bubble" popped so to speak when they found out he didn't exist physically, but we did enjoy letting them see Santa at the mall from year to year and getting their picture taken so we could compare how they grew from year :)
