Read a story per day from the end of November to January first...or binge the entire collection. Stories that center around holidays from American Thanksgiving and Black Friday to St. Nicholas Day, Hanukkah to Boxing Day, and of course, the worldwide biggies, Christmas, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day. Award-winning and bestselling writers like Ron Collins, Annie Reed, Robert Jeschonek, and 28 others explore holidays in three different genres--mystery, romance, and light fantasy.
This volume contains 35 stories, including two previously uncollected Kristine Kathryn Rusch stories, presented as they first appeared in a newsletter that went to subscribers every single day for 35 days.
The first volume in a series that will appear annually, The Holiday Spectacular #1, will fulfill all your seasonal story needs.

Read it all, in general I liked them all, but it seems like I'm more in the mood for mystery stories, the sweet stories felt more like meh.... I think I'll repeat next year with this year compilation, although I have a huge compilation I bought this year of Christmas mystery stories by classic writers. So much to read and so little time 😅
