A collection of odd tales inspired by the Spirit of Christmas... Call of the Wild: A woman and her horse meet up with an unusual escapee from the holiday madness. And To All a Good Night: The Alien Commander has planned his invasion well, while Earth sleeps, unsuspecting, seduced by visions of sugarplums. Long Distance: Ann receives a call for help from an old friend, and learns that love reaches across any distance. A Gift of Avalon: Terraforming a new planet means leaving everything of Earth behind. Or does it? Merry Christmoose: Love conquers all. With the help of the classic Poets. Maybe.
