The Quotable Lewis on Christmas
Just a hurried line… to tell a story which puts the contrast between our feast of the Nativity and all this ghastly “Xmas” racket at its lowest. My brother heard a woman on a bus say, as the bus passed a church with a Crib outside it, “Oh Lor’! They bring religion into everything. Look - they’re dragging it even into Christmas now!”
