In this episode, Winston Brady, Josh Herring, and Matt Ogle discuss their favorite Christmas books and Christmas movies. Along the way, they discuss the true meaning of Christmas, as rooted in the message of the birth of Jesus Christ, how Christmas traditions have changed over the past centuries, and how the consumerism of current Christmas traditions can be distracting and unhelpful.

Then, they discuss their favorite books including the likes of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," "A Christmas Carol," and "The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey." And providing they have the criteria of a Christmas film right--takes place at Christmas, includes Christmas iconography, and has a redemptive story arc--their favorite movies include "A Muppet Christmas Carol," "It's a Wonderful Life," and even "Die Hard."

From the team at Developing Classical Thinkers, we hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
