Santa in the dock


A lost chapter from some book by C S Lewis? Jack attacks the secularization and commercialization of Christmas in this humorous essay with a serious undertone, written in the style of an ancient Greek travelogue. Or rather a modern Anglo translation thereof. 

Tbh, I don´t really like party-poopers like this (ahem, there´s nothing wrong with Christmas cards showing Santa and some reindeer), but I suppose that depends on the quality of the party in for the pooping. It could be argued that there are two kinds of party poopers, after all: those who poop the party and those who *throw* the party! 

With that little comment, click on the link below and enjoy.
