Santa

In one week it will be Christmas Eve. Maybe that’s the reason I began thinking about that children’s Christmas song, “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.” Thinking especially of these lyrics:

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!

He sees kids when they’re sleeping? That sounds a little creepy. And he knows if every kid on the planet has been bad or good, so he must be watching all the time. Monitoring us. Is Santa … God? It would explain a lot. Like, how can he visit so many kids in one night? He’s God – He just stops time. And, how does he get into homes with no chimney? He has the power to pass through walls. And, how can he have flying reindeer? Easy to do if you’re God.

Anyhow, I googled “Is Santa Claus God” and found that I’m not the first to ponder this topic. In fact, one person had composed this helpful chart.

That settles it. You no longer have to wonder about God. He wears a red suit with a big, black belt around his waist and black boots on His feet, He rides in a sleigh pulled by supernatural beings disguised as reindeer, and He delivers toys to good children every year on his Son’s birthday. And Heaven? Obviously, it’s at the North Pole.

It all makes sense now. Happy Holidays!
