Instead of Jesus Christ, why Santa Claus is coming to town?

Santa Claus is Coming to Town (Lyrics)

You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list
And checking it twice
Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!

O! You better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

Santa Claus although he represent saint Nicholas, the whole idea and theme of how Santa Claus looks is the coca cola companies doing.

From early 1920 the first images of this fat man appeared, saint Nicholas wasn't fat at all. And like any marketing business they first came out with purple coats, then white and yellow. Eventually they settled on the traditional red that we now are familiar with.

This is amazing that he always uses magic, to do everything that seems impossible. In order to make children believe in such things.

Jesus Christ doesn't use magic and is a real person unlike Santa, he died for your sins all that Santa seem to say is "ho ho ho?"
This is actually a laughter, lets see what Santa is all about.

He lies to people saying that he is real and lives at the north pole. He bribes children with presents.

Jesus died for your sins and gives you a gift of salvation, he provides people with the holy spirit and is real unlike Santa.

Choose Jesus to come into your heart

Because you have to be dead to get Jesus' "gift".
Is that what you want, death in a box wrapped up under the tree?

Because of our sinfulness and unbelief. In our giddiness, we don't take the outlook seriously:

"[Jesus] will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead." - Nicene Creed.

May God forgive us.
