How many days until Christmas day?
Whose birthday do we all celebrate on Christmas Day?
Jesus!
We think about them both a lot at Christmas time.
Is it about Jesus … or is it about Santa???
We think of them both as having beards:
They both have second names that are unusual and start with a ‘C’:
Jesus Christ
Santa Claus
Neither of them were born on Christmas Day
They are both known by lots of other names:
• F_ _ _ _ _ R C_ _ _ _ _ _ _ S
• S_ N_ _ _ _ _ _ S
• P_ _ E N_ _ L (French!)
• F A T H E R C H R I S T M A S
• S T N I C H O L A S
• P E R E N O E L (French!)
• P R I N C E O F P E A C E
• M E S S I A H
• I M M A N U E L
They are both known by lots of other names:
• P_ _ _ _ E O F P_ _ _ _ E
• M_ _ _ _ _ H
• I _ _ _ _ _ _ L
Some people say that they aren’t real!
They both seem to know everybody's names!
They both seem interested in what we do – good or bad…
… BUT this is where they are very different!
Santa has a list…
… naughty?
… or nice?
God does NOT use the Santa method of assessment
How do you compare to perfection?
Are you ready to accept His free gift?
