  “Christmas at the Wade” with Timothy Larsen
  Together we’ll examine a very special Christmas gift that C.S. Lewis gave to Joy Davidman in 1952 (now in the Wade’s collection), hear a talk from Dr. Larsen on “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” and enjoy festive music and Christmas treats. Dr. Larsen will be available after his talk to sign his edited collection Twelve Classic Christmas Stories: A Feast of Yuletide Tales.
