Xmas & Christmas by C.S. Lewis

from The Brian Holdsworth Podcast

I recently read this tongue-in-cheek essay by C.S. Lewis and thought it would be a great reflection for your Christmas viewing. With his unrivaled wit and charity, Lewis assaults the strange habit of modern X-mas traditions in which we buy cards and gifts for people we don't like or want to buy for, exhaust our appetites through gluttony, and weary our stamina with "the rush", which he concludes, nobody would be willing to do to celebrate a religious feast in honor of a God they don't believe in - for that would be lunacy. Music written and generously provided by Paul Jernberg. Find out more about his work as a composer here: http://pauljernberg.com
