Christmas Short Works Collection 2022

This collection gathers Christmas stories that span the full holiday spectrum, from tender to utterly bizarre. A man who celebrates his birthday on December 25th encounters a man certain he'll die on the same date. Animals decorate their own tree. A rowdy town somehow finds peace for one holiday. Children pray, and somewhere in the mix, the existence of Santa Claus gets put to the test. The tone here is eclectic and playful. Some stories belong firmly in the warm-and-fuzzy tradition; others venture into darker, stranger territory. The collection doesn't choose one flavor of Christmas - it holds them all. That's the charm. Whether you're in the mood for quiet devotion or something with teeth, these stories deliver. For readers who want their holiday reading to surprise them. Not every story wraps up with snow falling outside the window. Some leave you uneasy. Some make you laugh. All of them stick with you.
