520    "Christmas took on its modern cast in America, and over 
       the last 150 years the most magical time of the year has 
       inspired scores of astonishingly diverse and ingenious 
       stories. Library of America joins with acclaimed author 
       Connie Willis to present a unparalleled collection of 
       American stories about Christmas, literary gems that 
       showcase how the holiday became one of the signature 
       aspects of our culture.  Spanning from the origins of the 
       American tradition of holiday storytelling in the wake of 
       the Civil War to today, this is the biggest and best 
       anthology of American Christmas stories ever assembled. 
       From ghost stories to the genres of crime, science fiction,
       fantasy, westerns, humor, and horror, stories of Christmas
       morning, gifts, wise men, nativities, family, 
       commercialism, and dinners from New York to Texas to outer
       space, this anthology reveals the evolution of Christmas 
       in America--as well as the surprising ways in which it has
       remained the same."--Amazon.
