Day 10: Santa Claus is 'Comin to Town!




Welcome to Day 10 of the 25 Days of Christmas Crafting Showcase!  It is finally time for the "big guy" to make his official appearance on a day all his own. 

Whether you believe in Santa or not, the jolly old elf  has an important lesson to teach.  Santa is bigger than any person, and his work has gone on longer than any of us have lived. What he does is simple, but it is powerful. He teaches children how to have belief in something they can’t see or touch.
It’s a big job, and it’s an important one. Throughout life, we each need this capacity to believe:  in ourselves, in our friends, in our talents and in our family. We also need to believe in things we can’t measure or even hold in our hand. I am talking about love, that great power that will light your life from the inside out, even during its darkest, coldest moments.
Santa is love, hope and happiness.  In fact, he reminds me a lot of Jesus.  And my hope is, that those children out there who don't have Christ in their lives, might experience His love through a beloved character like Santa Claus.  After all Santa Claus did receive his start  through a 4th century Greek Christian Bishop of Myra,  Saint Nicholas.  Nicholas was famous for his generous gifts to the poor and is the primary inspiration for the Christian figure of Sinterklaas.

So without further adieu . . . here is what the Cooking With Cricut and Paper Crafting World elves have been creating!



Jenny created this adorable treat box using the Cricut
Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge.  Check out her blog for the details!





Evelyn created this Memory Match Game using the Cricut 3 Birds on Parade, A Child's Year, Hello Kitty Greetings and Christmas Solutions cartridges as well as the Santa in Chimney cutting file from PaperCraftingWorld.com.  Check out all the details on her blog.
