Synopsis
Deck the halls with boughs of holly! 'Tis the season... for Santa's lawyer to talk about the legal status of the workshop elves, for Christmas to arrive in an unexpected month, and for the innkeeper at the nativity to spill the beans about what really went down on that one night in Bethlehem. It's not just Christmas. It's A Very Scalzi Christmas.
John Scalzi gift-wraps fifteen short takes on the holiday season -- interviews with holiday notables, "informational" articles about TV specials and Christmas carols, short stories and poems, and even a couple of nods to Thanksgiving and New Year's -- and puts them all into a stocking stuffer-sized package that makes the perfect gift for friends, family, or yourself. With stories both funny and touching, A Very Scalzi Christmas also features three new stories exclusive to this collection: "Christmas in July," "Jangle the Elf Grants Wishes" and "Resolutions For the New Year." A wonderful collection for the most wonderful time of the year.
