“Stories organize our lives, and the stories that won’t or can’t do that are false stories. The stories that orient us, that place us back where we should have been, the stories that bring redemption, are called true stories. They go by other names if you listen to the teller of false stories- legends, lies, myths, fairy stories. But true stories have authority to overcome the envious carping of the adversary.”

– Douglas Wilson, God Rest Ye Merry: Why Christmas is the Foundation for Everything, 112.
