Christmas with CS Lewis
In his early adult years, C.S. Lewis dismissed the story of Christ’s birth as a comforting fable—one myth among many. But everything changed after a profound conversation with his close friend and fellow author, J.R.R. Tolkien. Though both cherished myth and legend, Tolkien believed the story of Jesus was not just myth, but the true myth. That encounter sparked Lewis’s transformation from staunch atheist to passionate Christian—and forever reshaped how he saw Christmas. Now, Lewis in his cozy home near Oxford on Christmas Eve hosts a group of Americans spending the holiday in England. What unfolds is an evening brimming with warmth, wonder, and wit. Through a tapestry of stories, memories, and reflections, his guests are swept into a Yuletide experience that brings laughter, joy, curiosity—and even a few heartfelt tears.
