All I Want For Christmas

While I might loathe most Christmas music (and almost all Christmas television), I am a total sucker for a sentimental Christmas story. Liz Hand’s “Chip Crockett’s Christmas Carol” is, of course, a particular favorite of mine. Now I have something else to get all teary over. Sandra McDonald has sent me a link to her contribution to the genre, a story about a little boy who wants nothing more at Christmas than to be a girl.

Diana Comet and The Christmas Quilt

Oh, and Diana, if you are listening, all I want for Christmas is to be able to travel to the USA again.

    Thanks, Cheryl — I wish that, too. xoxoxoxo

    I’ll add my wish as well that you can visit America again.

    BTW, does your dislike of Christmas music extend to The Pogues’ “Fairytale of New York?”

      Of course not. Best Christmas Song Ever! :-)

      I’m also very happy with things like “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer”, and of course anything involving tentacles or squamous eldritch horrors from beyond the stars.
