This is a collection of six upbeat short stories about Christmas holidays from a mixed bag of authors. As to locale, the stories take readers to a disco in Hawaii, to a bar in Queens, to New Year's Eve in the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula, to Brooklyn, and to Times Square. In her introduction to the book, the editor writes an apt description in describing the stories as "seasonal romances with some naughty but nice twists". I found that to mean the stories were playful and saucy, with some, but not a lot of, explicit man-on-man sex. There is a smooth transition between the stories with no abrupt changes in mood or atmosphere. It is recommended as a pleasant and enjoyable light feel-good read.
