Thanks for featuring these.  I don't think I've read the 2004 and 2006 anthologies, so I'll be sure to check them out.  I don't normally plug my own work, but the story I wrote for the 2015 Christmas Story Contest - "The Old Ways" is about Yule, which is today.  So Happy Yule!  :D

I'd like to add one more story to the list, from the 2010 Ghosts anthology:

 

This one is special for me, as it was submitted, at my request, by Codey's boyfriend after Codey had past away...

Graeme, is this the Codey from light a candle for Codey? Very, very sad.

 

Thanks, Myr, for showcasing some previous anthos. I absolutely LOVE the anthos, so I'll need to check out the earlier ones.

Yes, it is. He died way too young... :,(

Yes, @Ronyx has the candle lit on his site. I just lit one and read his story. It's heartbreaking. He sounds like he was a very mature and talented teenager.

I'd never read that story before. It was beautiful, but so sad. Yet somehow the end was bright in a wonderful way.

Codey was an extraordinary young man, so gifted and talented. I'm glad I had the opportunity to get to know him before he left us too soon.

You can light a candle for him during the holidays here:  Light a Candle for Codey

I've worked my way through most of the Christmas stories, and I managed to leave enough comments to overtake you, Lisa. Ready to take up the challenge and catch me again? :lol:
