So you can see why there is such a big debate whether these similarities are coincidence or not.



Regardless of the parallels listed above there is one enormous difference to remember.







Jesus is the REAL reason for the season (Luke 2:10-14).



And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.



And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,



Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.



Jesus can forgive us and save us from our sins if we ask Him by His loving grace –– making us righteous Children of God so we can enter Heaven (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8-9).



Santa Claus is a tradition we hand down to our children to see them filled with wonder when they open presents on Christmas day but Jesus is absolute Truth (John 14:6) He is the wonder of wonders. Don’t leave Jesus out of your Christmas this year
