Five for the Winter Holidays — Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Christmas stories abound, but hardly anyone writes stories based on Thanksgiving or New Year's Day. This collection of five stories has two Christmas stories, “Boz” and “Loop,” but it also has a Thanksgiving story, “Pudgygate,” a post-Christmas story, “Disaster Relief,” and a New Year's story, “Millennium Babies.” The stories run the gauntlet of genres, from fantasy to mystery to humor to science fiction. The collection also features a Hugo-award winner and two of Kristine Kathryn Rusch's most popular recurring characters.
