In an essay published in God In the Dock, C.S. Lewis writes a very contemporary commentary on Christmas via a faux–mythical style. I find it to be very humorous while making a powerful point (some may find it to be too grumpy, but I liked it). Note: “Niatirb” is Britain spelled backwards. Read it for yourself here. It is short and worth your time.
