It's that time of year again!! The stockings are hung, the ornaments on the tree, the cookies in the oven...the grown children coming home to Mom and Dad's house, bringing all their problems with them. But Peg Fitzgerald promises this year will be different. This year the Fitzgerald's will have the picture-postcard family Christmas she's dreamed of ever since her children were young. This year, Peg has taken a drastic step: she's done away with the television set, leaving five grown siblings, four significant others, two grandchildren, and TV loving Seamus with nothing to do but act like a family...for the entire Christmas weekend.

Sin and Salvation by Laura Baumbach Ian Flynn, a vampire finds his perfect love in 1823 Victorian England in the form of Trevor Sheffield, a young stage actor. He keeps his true nature a secret from his lover until one Christmas Eve when Trevor is brought to the edge of death by a street gang mugging. Rather than lose the man who helped him discover he still had a soul (and a heart to break), Ian turns Trevor. Afterwards, he spends every Christmas Eve alone, wondering if he committed a selfish act of greed or a selfless act of love eternal. But Trevor won't leave Ian alone this Christmas. A Vampire for Christmas by Sedonia Guillone Christian St. Cyr, a vampire trapped in the nether world between soulless existence and redemption, has sworn not to kill from anger. He feeds only from mercy, which he does when he finds the beautiful man shot and bleeding to death near his home. However, the stranger revives and St. Cyr cannot resist making love to him. Little does he know that the lover who just claimed his heart for eternity is an immortal empath sworn to kill him. The Master's Gift by Kit Tunstall Chris Hanna didn't expect to provide blood and sex for vampire Hugh Klein when he became his assistant. He also didn't plan to fall in love with the other man. And he most definitely didn't think he would end up torn between his new lover and the woman who had captured his heart. He wants both of them, and the magic of Christmas just might make it possible. Publisher's Note: The Bite Before Christmas is an anthology of nontraditional romances. It contains sexual practices that may be offensive to some readers: oral, anal and ménage sex with male/male and male/female sexual contact. Minimize

Uncle Mugsy is a confirmed bachelor -- bachelor bulldog, that is -- who lives in a very comfortable mansion without a care in the world. He's a lovable curmudgeon who, like W.C. Fields, has a distinct disaffection for children. His only companion is his faithful butler, Peeves, who sees to Mugsy's every worldly need. The romantic interest in our story is supplied by Mugsy's ladyfriend, the elegant and available Miss Margaret Dogmont. As our story unfolds, Mugsy's perfectly insulated bachelor life is put in double jeapordy when his adorable niece and nephew arrive for an unexpected Christmas visit. Although the intractable Mugsy informs them in no uncertain terms that his routine will not be altered -- Christmas or no! -- he is in for a rather rude awakening! This Christmas cult classic returns to print in a deluxe clothbound edition sure to delight a whole new generation of children from the ages of two to two hundred! Minimize

Recognizing that the holiday season really begins at Halloween (and, in some quarters, doesn't end until the Super Bowl), Vince Guaraldi and his record company have wisely assembled the hummable themes from various Charlie Brown TV specials. What we have here is the album's ability to communicate the playful irony and loopy, lovable characters that people Charles Schultz's "Peanuts" comic strip every week. Though only one actual Christmas tune is included--"Christmas Time Is Here," in both the vocal and instrumental versions--kids from ages 1 to 92 will still appreciate the "Great Pumpkin Waltz," the "Thanksgiving Theme," oddities such as "Heartburn Waltz" and "Joe Cool," and, of course, the "Charlie Brown Theme." --Martin Keller Minimize

Each Christmas we shamelessly wallow in sweet sentiment brought to us courtesy of Hollywood, a glittering Tinsel Town filled with holiday spirit. It wouldn’t seem like Christmas if we didn’t spend some quality time with Jimmy Stewart and the folks of Bedford Falls or the March sisters—Jo, Beth, Meg and Amy. Scrooge is always a welcome guest in our home during the festive season, as well as newcomers such as the seemingly cursed but eternally optimistic Clark Griswold in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation and Ralphie and his quest for a BB gun in the seminal A Christmas Story, a film that has justifiably attained classic Christmas status. Our love of Christmas movies goes back to our childhood as many of the chapters in this volume relate. Christmas is our favorite time of year, a time people seem a little friendlier, children more closely resemble angels and family ties are a little more important. We decided it was time we share our love of the season and our favorite Christmas movies with other holiday cinema fans Minimize
