This wonderful short story collection adds an unique sci-fi/fantasy twist to the typical holiday characters and legends. Even the book cover has a bright and detailed illustration to put you in a holiday mood. "The Yattering and Jack" by Clive Barker, "Miracle" by Connie Willis, "Nackles" by Donald E. Westlake and "Nicholas Was..." by Neil Gaiman were some of my favorite stories among others. I hope to revisit this book again each year; it's a new holiday classic.
