Read: Connie Willis - Miracle and Other Christmas Stories

I can't say that I'd buy a book of Christmas stories by any other author, but for Connie Willis I made an exception (this was another find at the Dark Carnival bookstore). They are, as are all her stories, charming and funny. Although the theme is Christmas (with a sci fi/fantasy twist) the real subject in many of them is miscommunication and misunderstandings. I still prefer her full-length novels, however - her stories need more space to become really affecting.
