This is a collection of short stories, all published in the Isaac Asimov magazine, all with a Christmas theme or take place at Christmas. As they have all previously been accepted by the IA magazine, you already know the stories are top quality. A good read.

This book is out of print, but if you can find a copy you'll get a chance to read some fun Christmas stories with a SciFi perspective. Connie Willis' "Inn" is one of my favorite Christmas stories of all time.

If you are looking for a collection of tales about Christmas, even in the far future where its meaning is lost in the past, well, this is the book. But, if you are looking for stories of hard science fiction about very imaginative futures, you should look for another book. Paulo Sunao, from BRAZIL
