This was so promising but ultimately it fell flat and I DNF-ed it halfway through. It's a collection of VERY short stories that follow a wide variety of people and take place during several Winter holidays, but due to the length of them (at most a couple of pages) I just didn't feel any connection to them and/or felt a bit lost as to what was going on. I might try this again next year as a story a day like an advent calendar, as Rachel Sharp says it was originally meant as in the introduction.
Read for the 12 Days of Queermas Readathon!

What a lovely collection of queer, holiday-themed flash fiction. Wonderful, love-filled little short stories, yes, like a pine-cone flourished holiday box of chocolate—and all for charity.
This collection is only available from the authors, for a donation to a charity of their choice. (If a donation is difficult, many of the authors or others in the #writingcommunity would donate on your behalf.)
Like a tiny set of twinkling lights, this collection delighted me. Touches of kindness, sparks of romance, and the glow of holiday hope.
It's an informal collection, put together quickly (per the editor), and with some pieces from the authors' established worlds. It works so well - the stories are sweet and sincere, like visiting your writing family for the holidays. I especially enjoyed stories by Anna Kensing, Rachel Sharp, Ether Nepenthes, Adam P. Knave, Ashe Armstrong, Iris Sword, and John Lopez.
This is a nice little collection to enjoy with a glass of wine under the holiday lights on a quiet evening, or wherever you could use the holiday spirit. Thanks to the editor and to the authors for such a nice and kind gift to the world.
