There are a couple gems in this collection - Michael Swanwick's stunning A Midwinter's Tale, John Christopher's tragic Christmas Roses - and a few fun twists - Connie Willis' The Pony, Isaac Asimov's Christmas Without Rodney (though right at the end). Most of the rest were less interesting to me as stories, though it's an interesting collection of ways science fiction was thinking about religion and secular trappings of Christmas and their role in colonization.

Fun read of a wide variety of styles and authors. Nostalgic, both as any holiday book tends but in its authors--when's the last time you read an Asimov Yuletide story?
