I just finished this book and was totally blown away by this one. This is a collection of short stories with a scifi fantasy twist, all amazing writers. There were some surprises here, alittle of these being themed of course around Christmas and the holidays, but the surprises were in the way each author presented it. authors like Mercedes Lackey, Larry Coraia, and Connie Willis were present, with quite a few memorable gems here. The mo'@ phenomenal of course to me, being a classic scifi fan, was the Seabury Quinn Roads. Not giving anything away here, but all I have to say is, it's a story that represents Christmas in all its facets, but you have to read it. Amazing book though, and it gets 5 starso most definitely.
