These are not your grandma's usual holidays - at least not all of them, so don't just think Christmas. Oh, sure, there's the lady who changed into Rudolph right after the Christmas parade (a fun story), but there are also three other enjoyable stories written around the Chinese Spring Festival in Shanghai, the Winter Solstice in an alternate universe, and Thanksgiving. In general, the setting/season is just a minor part of the story, and you will find that you will enjoy them any time of the year.

Kim Harrison and Vicki Peterson write in their worlds, with which you may already be familiar. Lindsy Sands offers a rollicking tale--did you know when you change shape, your clothes don't change with you? Marjorie M. Liu abandons the wonderful setting and characters she has created in her fairly recent set of Dirk & Steele novels and introduces a Chinese warrior woman to her first vampires.

You won't want to put it down.
