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.
