Chapter Two Hundred Eighteen: Miracle and Other Christmas Stories

Okay, I know I really missed the boat for posting about this one, but it's a collection of Christmas stories by my favorite favorite, Connie Willis!  I hadn't read it before, and it was just what I wanted around Christmas--short stories (because I was busy, obviously too busy to blog) that have just the right mix of otherworldliness and Christmas sentimentality.  Anyway, enjoy this post in way early preparation for next Christmas, and in not-very-early preparation for my annual midwinter/gray months re-read of Connie Willis, which is coming just as soon as I finish my current trek through Austen's works...  (Look for a near-future post on that adventure!)
