Christmas Stars
The best of Christmas--past, present, and yet to come
Christmas is a time for miracle, scientific and otherwise, and for surprises that can only occur at this time of the year. But what marvels will the holidays bring to the far future--or to alien worlds light-years from the North Pole?
In this celebratory collection, many of today's finest writers of fantasy and science fiction unwrap startling visions of the future of Christmas. An unusual Christmas spirit brings confusion-and romance-to a modern young woman. A father's gift opens up the universe for all humanity. And a devout researcher uncovers the shattering secret of the original Star of Bethlehem. These and other stories shine like sparkling, unearthly ornaments on a fresh green tree of holiday traditions.
'Twas the night before tomorrow, and all through the galaxy, nothing burns as bright as... Christmas Stars.
A collection of holiday miracle stories by twenty-five of today's top fantasy and science fiction writers includes the tales of a father's gift that opens up the universe for all humanity, an unusual spirit who brings confusion and romance into the life of a young woman, and the lesser-known Philip Van Doren Stern fantasy that inspired the film, It's a Wonderful Life. 15,000 first printing.
