Synopsis: [from the back cover] "We know Christmas present. We know Christmas past. But what about Christmas future? Now, in extraordinary stories culled from the pages of Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, today's acclaimed masters hurtle the holiday centuries forward... Connie Willis presents an irresistibly wry tale of history's most famous overbooked inn ... Isaac Asimov tells the sly story of a man who grants his robot a Christmas vacation--and soon regrets it ... Alexander Jablokov travels to an alien planet where Christmas has blurred and mutated into strange new traditions ... Jack McDevit sends a television crew to film the planet Callisto on Christmas, in this warming drama set against the cold vastness of space ... Also includes amazing stories by Robert Frazier and James Patrick Kelly, Michael Swanwick, Cynthia Felice, Leslie What, Sharon N. Farber, and Janet Kaagan." An Introduction for each story by the editors contains information about where the story was first published and suggestions of additional stories and novels written by the author(s) to assist the reader in following up with further reading.
