Christmas Ghosts (Vintage Anthology) Edited by Mike Resnick

Everyone knows the holiday season has truly arrived when productions of A Christmas Carol take center stage, and classic films and animated versions are shown over and over on television. Now, Mike Resnick and Martin H. Greenberg have challenged some of the most creative minds in fantasy and science fiction to tell readers exactly what those Christmas ghosts are up to when they’re not scaring a stingy old man into self-reformation. The result is a wondrous seasonal mix, a perfect present for those ready to snuggle up with a good book on a cold winter’s night.
