What would you do if you discovered you were the next step in human evolution? What if it was up to you and a few reindeer to save Santa's Christmas from saboteurs? If you found yourself in a horse carriage drag race in the fourteenth century? How would you solve the mystery of a Christmas present which appears under the tree every year but is never opened? Formed from the ether of creativity in the minds of thirteen talented authors and one artist, delivered through a generous supply of never-before published stories and poems, this book takes you from harvest time in rural America and the pumpkin place of snarled vines to the bright lights of New York City on Christmas Eve. Told with spellbinding suspense, humor, spiritual enlightenment and satire, the tales unfold in brilliantly woven style, ranging from the sentimental to the supernatural, from warm family traditions to the beings lurking in the underworld. You'll run through the full gamut of emotions and be left enchanted, riveted, and begging for more.
