Symptoms subsided as soon as I got out of that building. But, memory has never left. And, for whatever other medical explanation there could be, I ‘knew’ it was God, as He was showing me program way He saw it.

After hearing every possibly viable explanation there is as to why it is acceptable to lie to children about Santa Claus, God led me to dictionary. Webster’s New World Dictionary says, “Nick (nik), n. Devil: usually Old Nick,” as well as others referring to goblin and demon.

For those who don't credit 'Santa Claus', did our Christmases ever really change or was it just names we call him?

However God leads you to spend your Christmas is certainly between you and Him. Though, inviting Jesus to His own party would be a good place to start.

You can bet that, in each victorious adventure taken, prophets were happy when all was said and done - in awe of what God had done for them. They believed God when He said we could be overcomers ... not only in next life, but in this life, too. And, they weren't disappointed.

The prophets suffered and endured (stayed course), not because they liked it but, because they liked end result. The end result is where they found happiness.
