When the carols fade and the snow begins to whisper, you’ll
🎅 The Santa Games — desperate men compete for a mall Santa job, but only the last one standing earns the red suit.
📻 Continuous Play — a radio station that’s broadcast Christmas music nonstop since 1955 receives a request it can’t refuse.
🍖 Grandmother’s Gravy — family tradition simmers into madness when the secret ingredient demands something fresher than herbs.
🕯️ Twenty-Five Doors — each window of an antique Advent calendar opens not to candy, but to revelation—and a terrible choice.

🔔 The Bells Beneath — in the frozen woods, an ancient shepherd stirs when the wrong bells are rung.
💻 The Christmas Miracle Challenge — a viral act of goodwill sweeps social media, but the algorithm feeding on kindness wants blood for clicks.

There was one story in this book that made it seem the author needed to make a lengthy story, called: Continuous Play. It took an hour to elaborate what the character was feeling, where the plot was trying to get to, and how for it to end. It seemed the author couldn't figure out how to end this story. Other than that, it was very interesting.
