Santa... a closer look

Ohhh.. 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, checking it twice, gonna find out who's naughty or 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... 

Soooo... who is this Santa really? Today, the Back Pew investigates Santa, the man, the myth, the legend, or... maybe a 'space alien'!

​Of course, the last couple of years many were singing      Dr. Faucci is locking you down.

He (Faucci) hears you when you're sneezing, he knows when you are unmasked, he knows if you've been vaxxed or not so get jabbed (and boosted) for CDC's sake.

These were unsettling years where the CDC and the WHO implied ...SANTA WAS SUPERSPREADER!

but now thankfully we know better... and Santa is now off Faucci's Naughty List

So back to ... Santa Claus is Coming to Town.
1. Santa knows who is good or bad, and will deliver presents accordingly. Omniscient? Omnipotent?
2. He delivers all the world's Christmas presents in one night giving the illusion of being Omnipresent!

Of course, after further in-depth investigation including 'Wikipedia' Santa is only holiday fun while only God is omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent. Leaving Santa as a jolly old Christmas elf who is nimble on his feet doing his best work at night.  Not a bad guy at all, but not the Savior of the world.

So with is in mind, I pray you all can embrace the fun tradition of Santa (but not Frosty he's very COLD). Enjoy giving and receiving presents, decorating a tree, and even mistletoe (but in moderation).

I also pray this fun is fit around the family, and church with the birth of Jesus at the center this Christmas season. The birth of Christ is the beginning of God's Salvation Story.

May God bless and use each of you this Christmas season in ways that are beyond your dreams.

Maybe Soon... while on an eggnog and gingerbread cookie high I will share the parallels between Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reign Deer guiding Santa Sleigh in a snow storm AND... the Holy Spirit guiding us through the storms in our lives.
