LAZELLE FAMILY CHRISTMAS, by Nina Kiriki Hoffman 4*
This story is exactly why I love this author. Each member of the family is responsible for a part of Christmas. ie. the youngest that is able finds a tree that is "willing" to be cut down...
THE SANTA TRAP, by Robin Aurelian (* aka NKH) 2*
It was tortuously fun up until the abrupt ending. Santa comes to your house and takes stuff....
THE CHRISTMAS CRAZIES: A GRIFF & FATS STORY, by Gary Lovisi DNF
ut-oh all the Santas are going missing. Salvation Army cauldrons abandoned, Macy's Santa goes on break and never comes back. // Too long, it lost my interest at about the half way point I figure. Detective type story.
CAN'T SEE THE TREE FOR THE FOREST by Skadi meic Beorh DNF
Actually didn't get that started. His writing style didn't match my reading style. The story was about picking out a tree without getting screwed over by the salesman. I think.
THE GIFT, by Marilyn "Mattie" Brahen 2.5* It's a proper, get you in the Christmas spirit story but it wasn't anything special IMO. A man that looks like Santa needs help but wait, is it the real Santa?
THE CHRISTMAS BANE, by S. Clayton Rhodes 4*
A Krampus story. I liked it.
