421: Chesterton - Mankind would have a much worse time if there were no such thing as Christmas or Christmas dinners

Going Cold Turkey at Christmas? In this episode, we read G.K. Chesterton's essay, On Christmas, wherein he discusses celebrating Christmas too early, vivisection, vegetarians versus turkeys, and what to do about the poor at Christmas. It's another curmudgeonly Christmas episode with one of our favorite British apologists and satirists. SHOW NOTES: "On Christmas" by G. K.
