He is the Reason for the Season

Comment from Patrick G Cox
Hi Teri,
Good point and well made, he is the reason for the season - Santa Claus or St Nicholas has his own day - the 6th December in fact. We would have a celebration though as the Mid Winter Solstice was chosen as the date of remembering Christ's birth since it is a festival of renewal and rebirth.

Teri, your work is spectacular, and I, too, believe that Christmas is all about our Lord. Your words are beautiful, just like we are in His eyes.

Comment from MizKat
Teri - I agree with you wholeheartedly. JESUS is the true meaning of Christmas although in past years it has become so commercialized that the LORD and SAVIOR is all but forgotten. They even want us to quit saying Merry Christmas and instead call it Happy Holidays. I wish you the best in the contest. Kat

Beautifully said from the heart. I don't believe God has any problem with us having Santa, East Bunny, the tooth fairy and any other frivolity as long as we remember He is the reason for everything. Nicely written.

Thank you Carol. Well as a child and as my children were young they believed in Santa and the Easter Bunny but later in life knew about Jesus. Merry Christmas. Hugs, Teri

Hi Teri,
Thank you for chosing my artwork to go along with your wonderful words describing the real meaning of Christmas that far too many people overlook. I feel honored. Your words capture exactly what Christmas is.
If we gave love to everyone in the world on this day and all the others the world would be a happier place for all of us.
MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND
With Love,
Helvi :o)

Comment from dayan1980
I liked it, i like the reason for the season, but to me it just felt a little bland. It felt like an answer to a question and not so much poetry. You are obviously quite talented, but this didn't do much for me.
I hope you don't mind the honesty, this is the reason for the site.
Best Wishes and Merry Christmas
