Short Stories.
HTML:Christmas â?? the very word conjures up memories of the most wondrous childhood holiday of allâ??filled with the glitter of colorfully-wrapped presents, family visits, carols, photographs, decorating the tree, attendance at church to celebrate the birth of the Christ child, and tummy-stuffing dinners tucked with treats seen at no other time of the year. But the yule holiday has been celebrated for at least two centuries in North America, and our writers have been producing memorable stories about this unique day for almost as long. Here are 25 Christmas stories old and new, tales to delight, to entrance, to beguile, and even to sadden a whole new generation of readers. From Nina Kiriki Hoffman's poignant "Lazelle Family Christmas" to Jacob A. Riis's gut-wrenching portrait of the holiday in the 1890s slums of New York to Johnston McCulley's riveting tale of Christmas in the Old West, we experience every possible facet of this most precious day of the year. So sit back and relive your memories once again, as recreated through the eyes of some of the finest writers of their time! Included in this volume are: INTRODUCTION, by Robert Reginald
THE SUBSTITUTE SHOPPER, by Edna A. Collamore

LAZELLE FAMILY CHRISTMAS, by Nina Kiriki Hoffman 4*
This story is exactly why I love this author. Each member of the family is responsible for a part of Christmas. ie. the youngest that is able finds a tree that is "willing" to be cut down...
THE SANTA TRAP, by Robin Aurelian (* aka NKH) 2*
It was tortuously fun up until the abrupt ending. Santa comes to your house and takes stuff....
THE CHRISTMAS CRAZIES: A GRIFF & FATS STORY, by Gary Lovisi DNF
ut-oh all the Santas are going missing. Salvation Army cauldrons abandoned, Macy's Santa goes on break and never comes back. // Too long, it lost my interest at about the half way point I figure. Detective type story.
CAN'T SEE THE TREE FOR THE FOREST by Skadi meic Beorh DNF
Actually didn't get that started. His writing style didn't match my reading style. The story was about picking out a tree without getting screwed over by the salesman. I think.
THE GIFT, by Marilyn "Mattie" Brahen 2.5* It's a proper, get you in the Christmas spirit story but it wasn't anything special IMO. A man that looks like Santa needs help but wait, is it the real Santa?
THE CHRISTMAS BANE, by S. Clayton Rhodes 4*
A Krampus story. I liked it.
