This prolific (and prolifically awarded) science fiction author has delivered her share of holiday-themed stories and novellas over the course of her 30-year career. This collection brings together many that her fans are sure to love. Drawing from motifs ranging from holiday pageants, to Christmas dinner, to Secret Santas, and many more of our favorite (or perhaps least favorite) holiday events, this collection taps into a breadth of emotion that makes the futuristic deeply human.
