Part II of G. K. Chesterton on Christmas
December 13, 2021 • Kenwyn Trotter, Devin O'Donnell
This week we will consider the second part of an essay by G.K. Chesterton on celebrating Christmas. Chesterton makes the point that although there is indeed a cost to the joyous celebration of Christmas—the purchase of large amounts of food, the preparations for a proper feast, the travel to another's house, the mess of having people in your house—the cost is worth it. It's the point of a festivity. Celebrating divine things elevates man to his proper place, above the animals, yet just a little lower than the angels, and "crowned with glory and honor." Kenwyn Trotter reads Part II of G.K. Chesterton on Christmas.
