Our December meeting will be on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12, after the evening Mass in classroom 2. We may have to change the date of our meeting if the evening Mass that day is a later, or a sung Mass. We shall see.

Having just finished Chesterton’s Autobiography, we will be starting the next book soon. But what with Christmas and the holidays coming up so soon, We think it would be best to hold off on starting until January. Our next book will be The Everlasting Man, so if you don’t have a copy you have time to pick one up. And we’ll all have plenty of time to read the first chapter before the January meeting.

This month we’ll try something topical. The readings for this month are as follows:

• The Spirit of Christmas (see the attached file)
• Christmas, from GKC’s collection of essays All Things Considered
• Christmas Books, from Appreciations and Criticisms of the Works of Charles Dickens
