It's a holiday celebration of stories!

Celebrations help us to mark moments in time that are meaningful, some for religious reasons, others cultural and historical. New York Times bestselling author Jody Lynn Nye has written about holidays from many points of view, in this world, in another; in the past, present and future. What holidays—and holiday stories—have in common is that people choose to come together for these festive events to discover joy and mystery.

Gathered together for the first time, these eleven fantastic tales showcase the wonder and mystery of Christmas, Passover, Lammas Night, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Mardi Gras, and Valentine's Day.

Have a happy, magical holiday season!
