All Jesus gives you is a little sip of wine. Santa lets you knock back all the eggnog and glogg you can drink. ---

_Santa fills your stockings with goodies… JESUS supplies all your needs._ I thought that was Walmart or Amway? _You have to wait in line to see Santa… JESUS is as close as the mention of His name._ Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, … nope nuttin, Candyman, Candyman, Candyman, … oh shit! _Santa doesn’t know your name, all he can say is “Hi little boy or girl, what’s your name?”… JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads._ Jesus, my own personal stalker? CMC +fnord! ---
