LEWIS<br /><br />In the early years of his young adult life C S Lewis believed the story of Christ&rsquo;s birth was nothing more than feel-good myth. That all changed after a particular encounter with his great friend and fellow author, J R R Tolkien. Although both men loved mythology in general, Tolkien was convinced that the Jesus myth was the one true myth. That was the start of Lewis&rsquo; journey from Atheism to Christianity. From that point on Christmas, for Lewis, took on an entirely different meaning.&nbsp;<br /><br />Here we find him at his home near Oxford on Christmas Eve hosting a group of Americans who are Christmassing in England. They are about to experience an&nbsp;unforgettable assortment of Yuletide recollections which stimulates a whole range of emotions &ndash; curiosity, laughter, gladness and even some tears. Above all, they will discover how that encounter with Tolkien forever changed his Christmas celebrations.<br /><br /><a href=\"https://youtu.be/0J_6XeiPW_g\" target=\"_blank\">Watch a preview here</a><br />\n<script type=\"text/javascript\">// <![CDATA[\nadroll_adv_id = \"N6SQPB5REJBI7LKQ37LS3P\";\n    adroll_pix_id = \"QHDZVXNJZNEKPK57PJW3QW\";\n    /* OPTIONAL: provide email to improve user identification */\n    /* adroll_email = \"username@example.com\"; */\n    (function () {\n        var _onload = function(){\n            if (document.readyState && !/loaded|complete/.test(document.readyState)){setTimeout(_onload, 10);return}\n            if (!window.__adroll_loaded){__adroll_loaded=true;setTimeout(_onload, 50);return}\n            var scr = document.createElement(\"script\");\n            var host = ((\"https:\" == document.location.protocol) ? \"https://s.adroll.com\" : \"http://a.adroll.com\");\n            scr.setAttribute('async', 'true');\n            scr.type = \"text/javascript\";\n            scr.src = host + \"/j/roundtrip.js\";\n            ((document.getElementsByTagName('head') || [null])[0] ||\n                document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0].parentNode).appendChild(scr);\n        };\n        if (window.addEventListener) {window.addEventListener('load', _onload, false);}\n        else {window.attachEvent('onload', _onload)}\n    }());\n// ]]></script>","Img_1":"CSLewisChris.jpg","FPriority":999,"PerformanceStart":"2025-12-05T22:00:00Z","PerformanceEnd":"2025-12-07T03:30:00Z","ItemType":"E","IsFeatured":1,"InteractiveSeatmapActive":1,"HasStream":0,"isBestSeller":0,"StreamlinedHomePageInfoLine":"","upcomingInfo":{"EventID":363,"NumUCP":4,"PerfID":0,"PerfAreaID":0,"EarlyBooking":0,"AccessMemberRestriction":0,"AccessAllowedByMembershipLevel":0}},{"ID":452,"Event":"Marin Symphony Pops: Bats & Bugs & Birds, Oh My!","Description":"<strong>Saturday, February 21, 2026 | 7:30 PM<br /></strong><br /><strong>Sunday, February 22, 2026 | 3:00 PM</strong><br /><br />* Tier 1 (center): $85 + $12 service &amp; facility fee = $97<br />* Tier 2 (Left and right wings): $60 + $9 service &amp; facility fee = $69<br />* Tier 3 (sides, wheelchair): $43 + $7 service &amp; facility fee = $50<br />* Youth (17 and under) (all sections) Single Tickets: $20 + $5 service &amp; facility fee = $25<br /><br />Marin Symphony Pops 2026: Bugs &amp; Bats &amp; Birds, Oh My!<br />Stuart Chafetz,&nbsp;conductor<br /><br />Marin Symphony Principal Pops Conductor, the irrepressible Stuart Chafetz, brings us a delightful program of light classics, with critters everywhere.
