Help spread love, hope, and joy to others this holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even Santa Knows<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is one of my favorite Christmas traditions. The Kneeling Santa which takes its inspiration from Philippians 2:10-11, \u201cthat at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Santa Claus is really St. Nicholas and would be the last person to detract from the real reason for the season \u2014 the birth of Christ. Even Santa Claus, or St. Nicholas according to the oldest traditions, pays respect and homage to the Baby Jesus. Santa removes his Santa hat out of respect, bends down on one knee next to the manger of his Lord, and adores the Christ Child as his King. A wonderful way for all of us to remember the true meaning of Christmas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Final Thought<\/h3>\n\n\n

Yes, Santa too has a Christmas wish. There\u2019s a lovely poem I first found years ago on a scrapbooking site. I don\u2019t remember where exactly but I did find it someplace different this year. Please check it out here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May the wonder of that first Christmas, the joy of God’s abundant blessings, and the peace of Jesus’ presence be with you always.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
