this was an INTERESTING collection. read some truly rough short stories that i wish i hadn't had to, and also read some spectacular short stories, including the last one— THE HANGMAN'S BRIDE, by sarah pinborough— which are definitely going to stick with me and that i truly loved. what an absolutely fascinating combination of authors and stories. some are heavily centered on the holiday; some barely manage to tie christmas into the theme. overall, a fun read, and i'm glad i read it, if only to have found a few cool stories and new horror authors!
