Oh yes, it's time to dive into C. S. Lewis's classic story about lampposts, fauns carrying parcels in the snow and Aslan.  Specifically we want to discuss how relevant this story is to the Christmas season.

Show Notes: 

Here's the full C.S. Lewis quote Sam references: 
“No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally (and often far more) worth reading at the age of fifty – except, of course, books of information. The only imaginative works we ought to grow out of are those which it would have been better not to have read at all.” - C.S. Lewis
