As I was doing some last minute shopping in crowded stores last week, everyone looked so tired as they were shelling out their money for the season. I found myself asking, “What’s this season all about anyway?” But as I looked around at the candy canes (the shepherd’s crook), the wreathes (eternal love), the bows (bonds of brotherly love), the bells (ringing to bring lost sheep home), and the Santas… so many Santas… well, I remembered WHO the season was all about and why it made me so happy and glad. 

I hope tomorrow is a lovely Christmas for you! I created Santas with ai help… and my help. Oh, my goodness, could I tell you some ai stories on this one. Yay Photoshop!

What does Santa have to do with anything?

• *He wears red. (Isaiah 63:2)
• *His hair is white (Rev 1:14)
• *He comes in the night (1 Thessalonians 5:2)
• *He loves little children (Matthew 19:14)
• *He knows we are good (1 Timothy 2:3,4)
• *He brings gifts (James 1:17)
• The holly is a thorny crown.
• The candles and Christmas lights are His light.
• The evergreen tree, that is lush even in winter, is everlasting life, secured by Him, pointing heavenward to Him.
• The red is for His Sacrifice.
• The star is a reminder of Bethlehem and the light of the world.

So, yes, this granny still believes in Santa Claus and who he reminds me of, my Savior, Lord, and King, even Jesus Christ.

“Every Who down in Who-ville, the tall and the small,
Was singing! Without any presents at all!
He HADN’T stopped Christmas from coming!
IT CAME!
Somehow or other, it came just the same!
And the Grinch, with his grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow,
Stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so?
‘It came without ribbons! It came without tags!
It came without packages, boxes or bags!’
And he puzzled three hours, till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before!”
What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. 
What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.”

― Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
