I loved it!
This is a collection of brilliant, playful, funny, offbeat, thoughtful, and (sometimes) a little romantic, science fiction Christmas stories. Which is a poor description, frankly.
No two stories are quite the same, and I enjoyed every one of them. My very favorite one is titled, "Inn." It's beautiful and a bit haunting.
"All Seated On the Ground" was the funniest. "In Coppelius's Toy Shop" was the most unsettling, but in a rather satisfying, that's-what-he-gets kind of way. "Epiphany" left me hanging---AAAARRRGH!!! Each one was great, for different reasons.
I can see myself rereading this one.
