Great collection of seasonal short stories. Some of the authors featured in this book I had previously read and I was quite satisfied with their work. I have now been introduced to some lovely authors that I now must go and read more by them.

* It's a Yuletide Miracle, C

After reading the entire collection, I'm left thinking that
